In the Previous Guide titled “Cash Seller and Mortgage Buyer,“ we explained the steps of closing a deal when The Seller has NO Mortgage on the property and there will be no Bank involved from his side, but the Buyer will be purchasing with Mortgage.
In this guide, we will talk about the easiest of them all, Cash sale. Meaning, the seller has no Mortgage on the Property and Buyer is purchasing with Cash. So, No Banks involved and therefore, the process is expected to be a lot faster.
