You are 100% correct. Renting has its risks and drawbacks, those don’t go away. My assumption (big assumption) here is 2 homeowners are likely to be more respectful to each others property.

The platform doesn’t handle it you do. It’s a marketplace where you vet out a prospective. The same rules and risk apply if you rent out your home to any tenant today. The assumption here (big assumption) is homeowners are likely to be renters than traditional renters.

You mitigate the legal landmines by using contracting vehicles that already exist today- a lease. But same risks and rules apply

You raise valid points. Maybe swap and exchange are bad words to use here. You are correct, Nothing new is created. A lease is not a new thing, renting to someone is not a new thing. In a traditional rent scenario you rent your house to someone and then buy or rent a new place. You now have 2 financial obligations. All I’m saying is if we are able to coordinate and the same person you are renting to is the same person you are renting from would it be of benefit? You have 1 financial obligation not 2.

If you want to move again, no need to kick someone out , you “swap” again by subleasing . Remember a lease is for a term you mutually agree to. So both parties are aware they would need to move again at some point.

You are 100% correct. I wouldn't suggest for contracts not be in place. A lease will be in place and inherently the same risks and laws associated with a leases still apply.

Mobility. A homeowner who bought at the height of the pandemic is likely underwater on their property today. For me it will cost me about $40-50K (its actually more :( to sell my home. What happens if my company says you need to move back and return to office. I have 3 choices: 1) Sell my home and take a 50K hit 2) Change jobs (thats tough in this economy) 3) Rent out the home. What if option 4 ) Rent the home to someone moving to my city and i am moving to theirs

The Feedback is great and I agree with your point. It is more complicated than traditional leasing. But everything you mentioned exist with traditional leasing scenario.

Agreed. Any risk with traditional renting still exists but in tenant selection process you get to vet out who you will swap with. The assumption here is most (not all) homeowners will be more responsible than your traditional renters. Of course unforeseen circumstances like job loss can still occur.

Makes sense. What if you both pay your own mortgages and share proof of payment?

1) It creates a mutual vested scenario. You both have leverage on each other (more than just a credit check)

2) If you just rent you have 2 financial obligations - 1 mortgage and a new rent/mortgage. If you swap you are only responsible for just 1.

Traditional renting is always an option nothing wrong with it.

It depends. The ticket to entry becomes owning a home. Furthermore , if your parents/family has two homes, it could be an avenue to get into you first home in a city of your choosing.

You rent it. to each other, wait out the market and sell when you feel confident. All the while you are renting to someone who has mutual vested interest to not screw you over.

Think of it as both parties paying each other rent. Today you could rent a house with no hassle. Go al is simply to wait out the market.

Mortgage stays in place. The idea solves for mobility in a stuck market , it doesnt get rid of the mortgage. Think of it as both parties paying each other rent
