Cash Purchase vs Financing
| Factor | Cash | Mortgage |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Fast | Slower |
| Risk | Lower | Interest exposure |
| Negotiation Power | Higher | Moderate |
| Liquidity | Lower | Preserved |
Cash Purchase: Faster process, lower risk, better negotiation power, but ties up capital.
Financing: Preserves liquidity, enables leverage, but involves interest costs and longer process.

Possible but limited. Income verification required, higher deposit required. Some buyers use financing from home country.
