This is a reminder that Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and most jumbo lenders allow sellers to “rent-back” (retain possession of a property after they sell it) for up to 60 days after close of escrow.
Some lenders, however, have an “overlay” (a requirement stricter than Fannie or Freddie’s) that limits rent-backs to 30 days. Be sure to check with your lender if a rent-back is longer than 30 days.
If a rent-back needs to be longer than 60 days (for whatever reason), it should be on an addendum that your lender will not see or know about.
Take the next step towards finding your best mortgage.
