If you’re getting new loan, that lender is going to demand a formal escrow, title opinion, etc., so it’s not really your choice.
You can bank on this: With a new loan, you’re going to have an escrow, like it or not.

I am trying to buy a house which currently does not have a pool. I am going for a 80/20 and Confident the appraisal will hold up for loan purposes.
The seller is flexible and would not have a problem paying for 50% cost of the pool- which would be an addition in Spring. How do I do this legally without escrow.
