Flexible Arizona Sale-Leaseback Options
Short leases. Unusual properties. Timelines that can't wait.
Most sale-leaseback programs are built around one kind of house and one kind of lease. Unlock & Stay™ was built for Arizona homeowners whose situation doesn't fit that box.

Lease terms that match how long you actually need
You tell us how long you want to stay. We build the agreement around that, not the other way around.
- Shortest stay: there is no hard minimum. A stay of around 15 days is handled as a post-possession agreement rather than a lease.
- Standard term: up to three years to start.
- Extensions: often yes. We look at each situation as it comes instead of applying a blanket rule.
- Rent: agreed and in writing before you sign the purchase agreement, so you know the terms going in. No surprises.
- Buying it back: there is no automatic buyback clause. We earn our return when the property sells, so if you are the buyer, nothing would make us happier.
Property types we'll consider
We serve Maricopa County. Many sale-leaseback companies only buy standard single-family homes on owned land. We look at more than that.
- Single-family homes — yes.
- Manufactured and mobile homes — yes, as long as you own the land the home sits on.
- Rural acreage and small farms — yes, with no acreage ceiling.
- Condos and townhomes — yes, as long as the HOA has no rental restrictions.
The one hard disqualifier: owing more on the home than it is worth. If you are underwater and need to sell, a short sale is usually the path — and we are one of the largest short sale listing agents in Maricopa County by volume, so we can help there too.
No minimum equity. No condition minimums. We look at the whole picture.

Lease Terms and Qualification FAQ
Straight answers on how long you can stay, which properties qualify, and what rules a home out.
What is the shortest time I can stay?
There is no hard minimum. A short stay of around 15 days is handled as a post-possession agreement rather than a lease. Tell us how long you need and we build the agreement around it.
What is the longest I can stay?
Three years to start. Extensions are common — we look at each situation as it comes rather than applying a blanket rule.
How does the rent work?
Rent is discussed and documented before you sign the purchase agreement, so you know the terms and conditions going in. There are no surprises after closing.
Can I buy my house back later?
There is no automatic buyback clause. We earn our return when the property sells, so if you are the person who buys it back, nothing would make us happier. Talk to us about it and we will look at what is possible.
Do you buy manufactured or mobile homes?
Yes, as long as you own the land the home sits on. If the land is leased, a sale-leaseback is not an option.
Will you consider rural acreage or a small farm?
Yes. There is no acreage ceiling. We work with homeowners throughout Maricopa County.
Can you do a condo or townhome?
Yes, as long as the HOA has no rental restrictions.
What qualifies a home for the Unlock & Stay program?
We serve Maricopa County. There is no minimum equity requirement and no condition minimums. All of it matters, and we look at the entire picture as a whole — our goal is to put you in the best situation we can given where you are. That is why we also offer options beyond sell then stay when another type of transaction fits you better.
What does not qualify?
The one hard disqualifier is owing more on the property than it is worth. If you are underwater and need to sell, the path is usually a short sale — and we are one of the largest short sale listing agents in Maricopa County by volume, so we can help with that too. Mobile and manufactured homes on leased land are also outside the program.
Who owns and manages my home after you buy it?
We do. We keep the properties we buy in-house. Most companies either sell to institutional capital, which leaves you with a publicly traded company as your landlord, or they try to flip the contract to a rental investor — and if they cannot find that buyer while under contract, they can cancel before closing and leave you in a bad spot. We do not operate that way.
