I am a first time homebuyer. First off, after going through frustration and headaches with the way the banks have made it nearly impossible to obtain a mortgage I decided not to bother with this anymore. Instead, I considered homes that were very affordable, and surprisingly in excellent condition,in nice areas with low taxes. Being so many banks recently closed, and two large mortgage lenders are now in big trouble financially, I am grateful I did not get a mortgage. They did me a favor! However, now that I would like to purchase one of these homes that are well affordable without going through the red tape to obtain a loan (and it wouldn't be worth it because of the very reasonable price) I just need to find out how to go about doing it this way? What I already know is I could make an offer in cash, and negotiate the price accordingly and so forth, but then in addition to cash or possibly a short payment plan, what are other options of purchasing a home without a mortgage?
