Default Advice: Buying a pre-owned house in TV with all cash

I'm not sure TV is any different from other Florida cities, but what has you experience been if buying with cash. I own a home outright and keeping it in South Florida but plan a move to TV. I've been up there a number of times, and coming up Saturday for a couple of weeks to look at homes. I know Villages Properties, FSBO and MLS are all seperate.

If I do find my dream home, appraisal wouldn't be requires especially if I get a great deal. I assume I can research myself if there are any liens on the house, or is there a way to request the seller to produce a certificate? (Not sure about that). I think I can go to whatever county assessor and request a lien search. Or hire a title company to do a search.

I shouldn't need Title insurance Policy if I come up with a clear title correct?

So I should only have to pay for a Recording Fees.

Anything else I might need that is specific to TV purchase?
