    ”…“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 back

    OK?….”

    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.

    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 property

    OK?
