The white paper analyzes the common thread of those who are “boxed-in.” These homeowners are stuck in place and unable to move, to transition to a new life phase or to take advantage of their accumulated home equity to improve their financial health due to restrictions such as credit score or income.

Key Points: 
  • The white paper analyzes the common thread of those who are “boxed-in.” These homeowners are stuck in place and unable to move, to transition to a new life phase or to take advantage of their accumulated home equity to improve their financial health due to restrictions such as credit score or income.
  • “As the number of homeowners who fit the ‘boxed-in’ category continues to grow, the need for access to more flexible tools that address liquidity increases,” said Jeremy Potter, Founder, Next Belt Strategies LLC.
  • Examining the sale-leaseback through a case study of EasyKnock’s Sell & Stay, the paper finds that as the economy looks to further challenge the “boxed-in” homeowner, greater awareness and access to the service can serve as a much-needed solution.
