rent property sale

We are trying to short sale our house and were approached by some people from up north that wanted to buy some property here in Florida and rent it out or a copule of years. They offered to buy our short sale house if we would sign a 2 year lease and rent from them. At the end of the 2 years they would like to either move into the house, or sell it, possibly back to us at the appraised amount. Can this be done? I have only heard of this as an issue of having family buying a short sale so their family members can stay in their own house by renting it and then maybe buy it back when it could be afforded.
