I'm really sorry but I cannot remember when it was posted. You're right, there are a lot of threads and there's a ton of info shared on each one. I'll run a search and link it for you if I can find it.
There was someone on GG when she bought the flat who had said she'd paid in cash and put it in only her name (I think they worked for the realtor or the property developer, and Sarah confirmed this later on herself in one of her rambling stories).
Then there was someone on here (maybe the same person?) who said she'd bought the properties in cash but I can't remember more than that.
If other members remember the details more clearly than I do, please feel free to correct any info that I've got wrong. Thanks.
