        "text": "Selling your home in a sale-leaseback can impact your credit score, primarily if the proceeds are used to pay off existing debts like a mortgage, which can positively affect your debt-to-income ratio. However, you will no longer own an asset, and your financial profile changes from homeowner to renter. A decision factor here is considering your overall financial plan; while it can improve liquidity, it also changes your asset base, which lenders might view differently for future credit needs.",
