I am sure that someone has done this successfully at some point in human history! It is quite hard to do in the United States in 2025. Most of the apparatus of modern US real estate is about preventing this. When you buy a house, there is a closing, a ceremonial occasion whose purpose is (1) to make sure that the seller’s mortgage gets paid off before the seller sees a dime and (2) to assure the buyer that she actually owns the house. Claims on the house — like a mortgage — are publicly recorded, so the buyer (and her lawyer) can see that there’s a mortgage on the house that needs to be paid back. But I suppose there are people out there who (1) have $900,000 in cash and (2) don’t know about real estate closings.1 Maybe you could get them to give you sacks of cash for the keys, and then skip town. It does not seem especially worth trying.
