The real estate agent works both sides so the house never goes on the market.

born on a buy you posted:no one buying that is going to have a mortgage eh, it'd probably be 'corporate housing' for a CEO or whatever, and it's unlikely the company would buy it full cash, that's a big investment for something they could be paying a mortgage on and investing the rest.

with interest rates where they are (and interest tax deductible) they will probably take a mortgage because they can exceed on returns with the remaining capital
