Can I Short Sale My Home and Buy It Back?

Las Vegas, NV - April 22, 2013 - (RealEstateRama) -- One of the most common questions we're asked is, "Can I stay in my home after the short sale is complete?" Many Realtors and even some Attorneys claim they can sell your home to an investor (i.e. Cash Buyer, Hedge Fund Buyer, Non-Profit Buyer etc.) who will allow you to "lease back" your home as "tenants" after the short sale is finalized...or possibly "Buy It Back" after three years. Who wouldn't want to take advantage of an opportunity like this? Staying in your home would avoid the inconvenience of moving, costly moving expenses, etc. This seems like an attractive solution, however, is it really an option? Is there a catch?
