Why not just go to the bank and get a check? I’m not aware of any specific laws that prevent the use of large amounts of cash, but there are reporting requirements for the recipient. That generally triggers a lot of interest by the DEA, US Customs and the IRS. I wouldn’t want that kind of scrutiny. Can you say audit???

Does anyone know if there is any law against paying for RE purchases in cash, regardless of amount? For example can someone pay for a $500K property in cash at closing. Is there a law against that? Is there a law that says you can only pay with a check, certified funds, wire transer and other such documented methods of payment. thanks.
