Again, there are companies to do it for you. All you HAVE to do is show up a dozen times and sign papers. Sure you might lose a bit of money in the process, but since we're talking "buying house money" the so called risk is negligible. We're talking the amount of money you could put on a savings account and the monthly yield on that alone would seriously affect how many hours you need to work.

Doesn't even have to be much paperwork. I know what I'm looking at. Purchasing this property as a private sale was simply a matter of hiring a lawyer to do the paperwork and to confirm no liens or liabilities

Purchasing a house is not even close to the same as selling a house you have an outstanding mortgage on.

Getting into a mortgage is very easy.

Getting out of one on the other hand is much more of a pain in the ass.
