Selling - okay to take a personal check?

Selling my Class A DP. Is it okay to take a personal check for the funds? I DO NOT transfer title until the funds clear.

Thus if the check bounces then that's fraud, perhaps even grand theft auto.

I know most suggest certified check, but those are easy to scam today anyway. (You need to call the back to verify, and find the bank number from Google, and confirm its a real bank.)

absolutely fine to take a personal check as long as you keep title and the MH in your possession till you have cashed the cheque and received the funds but a bank wire transfer is so much quicker and simple
