AnswerBlaster | I have about 700k in the bank and want to buy a house costing between 300-400k. Should I pay cash or finance |

That depends on how much you can get the mortgage for and if you think you can earn a higher return on the money that you won't invest in the house.
For instance, if you can put down 300k of 400k and the last 100k is financed at a rate of say 3.5% and you can earn 5%(after tax) on that 100k, then invest that 100k in something else and earn that 5%.
I would say the likely answer is to pay for the house though :) Especially if you're buying in the US right now. Hell, buy like 3 properties cause they're only going to gain in value after the crash.
Also, with 700k in cash, you should be speaking to a tax expert and a financial advisor. That's a lot of money |

if you have the money to pay it in full, you should do just that... why would you want to worry about making payments when you don't have to? |

If you need the tax deduction finance,if not pay cash. |

Finance it. You buy real estate either because you want to live in it, or because you want to invest in an asset that will grow -- hopefully, with some help from you. If it does grow, you will benefit from leverage. You can then use your remaining funds for other investments. |

Ask your accountant. You may want the tax deduction. |

with all that dough I wouldn't worry one bit bro! but if i HAD to chose, yes cash, most def...save on morgage, it would be hard to invest all that money without risk at a higher rate than mortgage. |

If you have that much, you should have a Financial Advisor.
A lot can depend on your tax bracket, the state's Homestead Laws, and your exposure to things like Malpractice and other Liability lawsuits.
Talk to a financial advisor. |

put a good down payment, and finance the rest. Allow yourself some security in other ventures you might decide to invest in, like a townhouse to rent out. Good Luck in finding a Home

Go for cash transaction. Because you have the money in bank I expect it to be an amount for which you have proper accounts I would suggest you to go for cash. Interest and financing do bring a lot of headaches later. You can consider it as an Investment. |

In this market, cash all the way. When you find the home you like, low-ball the offer by at least $25,000 and let them know it's going to be an "all-cash" deal. Right now, "cash is king" because so many people are defaulting on their mortgages - you'll be quite pleased with what cash can get you.
In my humble opinion, real estate can also be the best investment you can possibly make: by and large it will increase in value over time more than any other, so it's not like you're throwing that money away if you make a sound choice. |

You should definitely finance! Interest rates are very low right now, and your cash on hand is much better spent investing it somewhere that you can get a good return.
The advantage of financing a house is that the value of the house itself almost always increases. While a car may be a good thing to pay off quickly, a mortgage is much different:
First off, a mortgage is tax deductible! This means that you can claim a much larger tax return by spending your money on the financing -- moreso even than the interest accumulated due to the mortgage interest rate. You do not have this opportunity if you buy a house outright. |

why would you finance a house and pay all that interest? Cash would be the money saving option. |

you get a better deal for cash
but then again it would be hard to manage all that money |
