Do you need homeowners insurance the day of closing if you pay cash?
No, the lender is the party that requires insurance at closing because they have an interest in the property due to the loan they are providing for purchase. Since there is no lender, no homeowner's would be REQUIRED. However, since YOU have an insurable interest (because ALL of your cash is tied up in the house) , I would highly advise ppurchasing coverage for your home!

Should you pay cash for closing cost or have it refinanced back into the loan?
I am a Realtor in Texas. I have worked with many buyers and they all have different preferences in this area. It always seems to hinge on how much cash you can afford (or want) to come up with at closing. Ideally, I believe it is best to pay the closing costs up front, rather than wrap them into the mortgage...if you're able. A couple of reasons FOR paying cash: 1. As with anything you finance, you end up paying waaaaaaay more than the principle amount that was financed. $5,000 closing costs, added to your mortgage, may end up costing you $25,000 in the long run (just a hypothetical estimate). 2. You can buy more house (dollar wise) if you pay the closing costs. If you're pre-approved for $200k, but want to wrap $12k of closing costs back into the loan, that means you will only be buying a $188k home, not a $200k home...but you're still financing $200k! A couple of reasons AGAINST paying cash: 1. You don't have the money to spend on closing costs right now (or you would rather use the money on something else). 2. Seller is willing to pay the closing costs for you, without moving the sales price of the home above what the house is worth. Although, if the seller is willing to do this, he/she would probably be willing to take that much less for the house and NOT pay your closing costs. In which case, I would recommend paying less for the house and still paying cash for the closing. 3. If you're only a couple of thousand dollars away from being able to put 20% down on the mortgage, which means you would NOT have to pay mortgage insurance, you may want to wrap the closing costs into the mortgage and add that cash to your down payment. Although mortgage insurance is only about $50 a month, it adds up over time. That extra amount on your monthly payment doesn't go away until you've paid off 20% of your mortgage. Again, it's all dependant on your situation (financial capabilities and personal wants). --Kevin
Does being the primary owner of a car paid in cash and paying insurance help you build better credit?
No. If you paid for a car in cash, there was no credit involved. Therefore, there is no information from that transaction to show on your credit report. Likewise, paying for insurance is not a credit-related transaction. So, once again, there would be no information to convey credit history.
