Should you be buying a house with cash, or is it better to get a mortgage?

ADVANTAGES:

Easy to get offer accepted.

Fast transaction (favorable to the seller).

No appraisal or loan contingencies are required which will lengthen the sale if you’re getting a mortgage.

No Credit check required.

DISADVANTAGES

You could use all of your money to make a purchase - but no cushion for repairs or emergencies.

You can't diversity or leverage your money for other investing

Your Money is tied up and not liquid...but you could get a home equity loan,HELOC or reverse mortgage if fast cash is needed.

ALTERNATIVE to using all of your cash?

Your money could be diversified into other investments - stocks, mutual funds or a business opportunity.

Buy multiple houses or multi-unit building. Everything from a duplex to an apartment building.

Another option is to buy the home for cash and then finance it after recording - takes advantage of your cash position to make the purchase, then gets your cash back when you get a mortgage.

Before you make any decisions about using all cash for a purchase, talk to your financial consultants, CPA or attorney to satisfy yourself that you are making the right decision.
