The total cash Lester Shreffler received through the sale-leaseback was less than half his equity

This graphic shows the breakdown of how the money flowed in Lester Shreffler’s sale-leaseback transaction. EasyKnock says people get 100% of the full market value of their house. Despite having around $138,000 in home equity, Shreffler received only about $66,000 in cash over the course of the transaction — less than half his equity. EasyKnock says this example is not representative of its average customer.

Notes

*The $38,439 that Shreffler received includes a reimbursement of $609 in property taxes that he prepaid before the sale of the house to EasyKnock. This causes the dollar amounts in this bar to sum to $250,609 (the $250,000 sale price of the house, plus the $609 in reimbursed property taxes).
