After the Real Estate and Mortgage Meltdown several years ago, many buyers who were affected by the economy have “boomeranged” back into the market that brought our country to a meltdown. Boomerang buyers are victims of foreclosure who are re-entering the real-estate market.

For example, let’s say a real estate agent or owner puts up real estate on the market, rent-to-own.

The rent price and a portion of the option fee accumulate over an annual period, with other fees. The renter can walk away from the property without paying for the full house price, because it is rented. In summary there is less risk to actually purchase the whole real estate than there is to rent and eventually own if
