Who is EasyKnock?
In 2016, after working in finance for 20+ years, Jarred Kessler sought to provide homeowners with an alternative solution to an all-too-common problem: being unable to access the value of their homes without the hassle of traditional personal loans, banks, outside lenders, and moving, By selling their home and remaining as a renter, EasyKnock is a revolutionary path for millions of American homeowners who are looking to turn their most valuable and cherished asset into a foundation for their futures and their finances.
Is EasyKnock a better choice than a traditional solution such as a cash-out refinance loan?
This question depends on your personal situation. A cash-out refinance loan may be the best option for clients who do not mind taking on a larger loan, can meet a lender’s strict requirements for credit and income type, or need a maximum of 80% of the home’s value. For clients who do not qualify based on lender requirements, want the benefit of a home sale without the need to move, do not want to be responsible for future home repairs, EasyKnock provides a new solution.
What is a residential sale-leaseback?
