free money! free house!
I saw so many people give cash offer, no inspection contingency, no realtor, use HELOC to buy secondary house...
ARE YOU CRAZY???
You better think about those:
if you give cash offer, you can be more restrictive on house conditions.
if you have inspection, you have more protection.
if you hire a realtor, you leverage professional help.
Remember, don't think in the box!!!
I am a average software engineer. those came from my experience!!
