Purchasing multi family home for cash. Is it risky?

[Matt Kistner]

Hello everyone, I am seeking my first investment property and I came across a listing that looks like it could have good returns, however am weary this could be a money trap. Does it raise a red flag when a seller wants a cash deal on a house? The house is listed for 39k and it’s a 3bed by 3 bed duplex. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks in advance,
