01Your options

  1. 1Sell firstThe cleanest financially. You may need a short-term rental or a rent-back.
  2. 2Buy firstEasier on your family, but you'll need financing that doesn't depend on the sale.
  3. 3Contingent offerBuy contingent on selling. Simpler, but weaker in a competitive market.
  4. 4Rent-backSell, then rent your home back from the buyer for a set time.
  5. 5Bridge financingBorrow against your current equity to buy first. Ask your lender.
