Cash Purchase without a Real Estate Agent
Should I hire a real estate attorney and appraiser before moving forward with my acquisition?

I buy solo all the time, but I've done it a time or 2. I wouldn't do it solo on my first few transactions.
Should be easy to find a standard PA purchase and sale agreement. Most contingencies are built in.
A seller that wants all cash and no professionals involved is a red flag to me. Make sure you're not buying crap @James Andrews - which goes back to experience. Do you have the experience to not buy a lemon on your own?
