Strategies that facilitate a property owner’s departure from a real estate investment are gaining prominence. These encompass methods beyond traditional sales, enabling owners to unlock equity, mitigate risk, or adapt to changing life circumstances. Examples include lease options, seller financing, and creative exchange arrangements, providing alternatives to conventional market transactions.
The increasing appeal of these strategies stems from factors such as market volatility, evolving financial goals, and a desire for greater control over the disposition of assets. Historically, these approaches were less prevalent, but recent economic shifts and a growing awareness of their potential benefits are driving increased adoption. They offer flexibility in timing, potential tax advantages, and the opportunity to generate income streams during the transition period.
