GA pilot reported after landing at 07FA non-towered airport they held in position at the end of the runway prior to back taxiing due to another aircraft landing behind them.
Homestead Approach Control set us up for a right downwind visual approach to Runway 5. They told us they were putting us in front of a turbo prop that was also IFR. We cancelled IFR; entered the downwind and made the appropriate calls on the CTAF. While we were on final; a single pilot Aircraft Y called in on base. The turbo prop had to do a 360 behind Aircraft Y. When we got to the end of the runway; we transferred controls and I began to taxi the aircraft back to the ramp. I proceeded into the turn around area. While I was concentrating on taxing; I hear Aircraft Y on short final saying something about us holding down at the end. As I turned around short of the runway; I saw Aircraft Y crossing over the trees. At that point; I stayed in the turn around area short of the runway. At some point my FO said something about holding down there; which I think he said as a response to the other plane. I was getting ready to and should have told Aircraft Y to go around but figured all I could do at that point was hold short of the runway. He proceeded to land; turned around about halfway down the runway; never coming close to us and jet blasted the building next to the runway. We taxied back to the ramp uneventfully. I spoke with the airport manager; Person A; about the incident. He appreciated us staying off the runway and was going to fill out a report; emphasizing the actions of Aircraft Y. I was busy concentrating on turning the airplane around in a tight area avoiding jet blast and didn't realize how close Aircraft Y was and what he was doing. When I realized that he was landing; I held my position short of the runway. I was going to and should have told him to go around; but it appeared to me there wasn't time. I am not sure if he would have and I stayed where I was.
