šŸŽÆĀ How to Close a Real Estate Deal with a Cash Buyer and a Free & Clear Seller (Escrow Explained Simply)

Are you confused about how real estate closings work—especially when it comes to cash transactions and creative financing? In this video, I break downĀ exactly what happens during a real estate closingĀ when aĀ cash buyerĀ is purchasing a house from aĀ seller who owns their property free and clear—with no mortgage or liens.

If you're getting intoĀ creative real estate investing, wholesaling, Subject-To deals, or cash offers, this is the foundational knowledge youĀ mustĀ have to succeed.

šŸ”Ā What You'll Learn in This Video:

āœ… What an ā€œall cashā€ real estate transaction looks like
āœ… How the escrow process works when there’s no lender involved
āœ… What a deed is and how ownership is transferred
āœ… The role of the escrow company in closing
āœ… How to explain this process to sellers and build trust
āœ… Why understanding the ā€œcash for deedā€ model gives you a competitive edge
āœ… Visual breakdown using stick figures so you can trulyĀ seeĀ the transaction unfold

🧠 Why This Matters (Especially for Creative Financing Investors):

Most people trying to get into real estate investing never actually learn how theĀ closing process works. They rely on agents, title companies, or wholesalers—and miss the chance to becomeĀ real deal-makers.

But if you want to be aĀ real investorĀ who can close dealsĀ directlyĀ with sellers, you need to be able to explain:

  • How money moves

  • What gets exchanged

  • Who is responsible for what

  • And what happens atĀ escrow

This video gives you the tools to explain the closing process with confidence—so you can educate your sellers, remove fear, and lock in more deals.

šŸ“ŒĀ Real-World Example in This Video:

Imagine you're the buyer. You've got the cash. The seller owns their houseĀ free and clear—meaning there’sĀ no mortgageand no bank involved. You negotiate, sign a contract, and head to closing.

Here’s what happens atĀ escrow:

šŸ’° You give the cash
šŸ“œ The seller gives the deed
šŸ“‚ Escrow handles the transfer
šŸ  You walk away as the new owner

Simple. Clean. Powerful.

This is the exact model many real estate investors use when flipping, wholesaling, or acquiring rentals using seller financing or Subject-To.

šŸŽÆĀ Pro Tip:
Once youĀ trulyĀ understand this simple 2-step dance—cash for deed—you can apply it across all creative strategies:
→ Wraparound mortgages
→ Subject-To deals
→ Owner financing
→ Assignment of contract

Because at the end of the day,Ā every real estate deal closes at escrow, and knowing how that works gives you leverage.
