Should I buy in cash?
I can afford to pay for a new home in cash but with the interest rates lower than usual I considered a $200k loan. Now I am looking at 5% and I am leaning towards cash. I would have little savings left after the cash payment which is why I am trying to see if a mortgage is a better option. by isotopian724 from Maricopa, Arizona. May 12th 2022

Most financial advisors will urge you to NOT pay cash for such a large purchase. That doesn't necessarily mean you should go for a maximum loan amount either. A lot more information is needed to help you determine what you should do. I'd love to help you get a better understanding of the risks and rewards of paying cash. Reach out and we can answer many of your questions so you can make the best decision for your situation.

It is your personal choice, but few people pay cash, even if they can. This is because mortgage money is relatively cheap. If you have that much cash laying around, you can usually find a better use for it, and better rate of return on your money than using it to pay cash for a house, plus for most people, there are also tax advantages. I'd consult a financial person to help you decide. I lend for NON-QM in MN, Wi, IA, SD, ND. Find me at JoeMetzler.com - Cambria Mortgage, NMLS 274132
