Uncle is looking to buy his first house, they'll only take cash, will he qualify for the first time home buyer credit? or does a loan have to be taken out?

There is no requirement for a mortgage.

No requirement for a mortgage, however deals after Dec 1 2009 must be documented via a settlement statement to be submitted with your tax return for the new $6500 or $8000 credits, so no more "I deed my house to you" deals.....

an escrow company will likely need to be used.

"they'll only take cash".. Over 99% of all sellers only take CASH!

There is no such thing as a cash only transaction. Your uncle can get a mortgage. The mortgage company cuts him a check. Check can be made into cash, so wtf is the seller talking about.

edit: Unless you mean your suppose to show up with a suitcase full of money so he can run to vegas.

Sure there is! Sellers can sell to whom ever they want and the bank owned properties will prefer a cash buyer any day.

Put the money in unmarked $20s. Not $5s, not $10s, not $50s, and not $100s.

Be sure to stuff them into canvas bags with dollar signs on them. Then when you show up to sign the paperwork, sign everything "S. McDuck".

If he is looking NOW, don't bother if he qualifies or not, because it's already too late.
