”…“what classifies as a Sale and Operating leaseback?”
I own an asset with a fair value of $58,000 and wish to release the equity that is tied up in that asset
So I sell it, to you, for $50,000 and lease it back under operating lease terms where I pay you $1,000 per month for 5 years at the end of which time that asset is yours
I’ve sold it
I’ve leased it back
Under an operating lease
That’s how it classifies as a sale and operating lease backOK?….”
Me:
So you sell an asset, intending to pay installments to buy it back.
Understood thanks.Furthermore, is that similar in a way to how some people remortgage properties when they’re almost paid off?
ie after 30-ish years of paying my mortgage I have 5000 left to pay.I want to buy another property and choose to remortgage my house (in theory releasing some of its equity) for 50 000.
How would you define such a transaction?PS Do you know that after you answer questions the first time, they become locked ( the titles are greyed out) so Students arent able to reply to your answers?
PPS apologies if this seems like spam, but it was the only way I could think to reply. unless I’ve missed something.

How would you define such a transaction?”A mortgage is a secured loan
What you have asked here is … a secured loan
Dr New Property
Cr Cash (with the amount YOU actually PAY to buy the house)
Cr Mortgage / Loan account with the amount borrowed (from the Building Society / Bank/ money lender) to finance the remainder of the purchase price of the new propertyOK?
