The place to aim for is around 0.5% or more on the cash back. Dunno what houses are selling for over there, but I'd expect more than a monkey. Real cash is not a gimmick to me.

There are a few realtors in AZ who will sprout this crap, too. Doesn't bother me! Not like there's a shortage of them to choose from, is there?

Guy's definitely offering cash back -- can't be bothered with the details so find out yourself if you're interested. Not a recommend, merely given to show that it is possible, even in the Carolinas.
