Looking up owners of cash sales properties

[Kim Hawkinson]

I'm on my assessor's website looking up the names of those people who bought homes with cash. I want just the homes where the property address is different from the owners right? Or should I take down everyones names and addresses since they bought with cash? OR, since they bought with cash but their name is associated with the property, do a search on their name in that city to see if they own anymore houses? So many options I swear! Thanks for the help!!!

Hi Kim,

If you have an realtor that will work with you, it is possible to find cash buyers per zipcode through the MLS. The data sifts through and can tell you with facts who buys with cash, what they buy, and what targeted areas they focus on. If you see 40+ cash transactions in a specific area, it can give you a good snapshot of the investor activity.
