Now if I was in some sort of financial straights that might be different but it is statistically rare here.

There are advantages to seller when a buyer does it all cash. Much faster closing for example

If you really want to pay all cash, my advice would be to forget about saving a buck or two on title insurance, appraisals, inspections, etc. You will have a huge about of money at risk, so take every precaution to protect that money. I suggest you contact a local closing attorney and get them to guide you, pay them to work for you.

Yup, that is my plan as very fast closing and I really don't want to pay all that enormous interest with a mortgage when I have the cash just sitting there. Hoping to find a turn-key with no one living there. I'm not trying to low ball the seller, although I do believe the courtyard bungalow villas are WAY OVERPriced. Not sure why, I guess supply and demand.

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?

Buying a pre-owned home versus new does have it's advantages.
I have a home that I'm looking to sell.
Better than new, plus no bond, in a desirable neighborhood with wonderful neighbors.
If you are interested, message me back and we can set up a time to talk and discuss further.
