   If it sounds to good to be true...

Another question asked and answered ad nauseum in this venue... why not read those responses and write a post about what you learned.

Paying cash is not a huge red flag.  I have personally paid cash for real estate and have had many buyers do the same and all legit.  Cash buyers are a huge part of the real estate market where I work and believe me, it's all legit. 

Avoiding fraud is easy and if you don't know what fraud is keep your eyes open as it will find you.

Large cash deposits are one.. or paying cash for the home.

Boy, I have to read responds on this one first.
