The percentage of Orlando real estate transactions completed on an all cash basis has increased dramatically over the past years. Reasons include:
A significant number of investor buyers who are not able to secure financing and therefore must pay cash, and
A significant number of properties that are ineligible for financing, such as very low priced condos and properties that need intensive rehabilitation.
