I’m looking to buy a condo in Las Vegas and move in pretty much immediately after I get out school in April. I know next to nothing about how to buy a home.

1. Location difficulties
I’m currently in Pennsylvania. Is it possible to buy a home without being physically present? I feel like I can get a pretty good idea of the units from posted photos. Are there people who I can hire to verify the integrity of the home and make sure that it matches the online description?

2. Timeframe
When should I start my search? Again, I’m graduating in late April. When should my house be purchased if I’m looking to move in immediately after I graduate?

3. Paying upfront
I’ve made enough to purchase what I’m looking for on my own. I want to pay everything upfront to eliminate the costs associated with loans/mortgages. Is this a good idea? Also, I’d imagine that I could use this to leverage the price?

4. What are other associated costs of purchasing a house?
In addition to the list price, what are the other major costs and about how much are they?

5. Any tips on how to go about doing this if you were me?

Thanks a lot for your help.
