BP, So I'm scouring the landscape for cash buyers in the area and I figured the I'd call all the "for rent" signs in town, but how can I tell if the landlord bought the property with cash or not? 

Mostly because I've been scouring the MLS looking for deals or checking on our current rehab houses any spare moment I have.But, I'd like to take a moment and share my story and progress in hopes to encourage some of the younger or newer investors to take action!

Having scoured numerous threads I thought it would be wise for me to actually join and try and soak up all the incredible information this place has to offer.

I've scoured the foreclosure listings for my county, and other online sources, and don't seem to get how to turn these listings into offers and ultimately close a deal.  

So I'm still on the hunt, but acknowledge it will take more work than just scouring MLS to find the deals.

I am willing to provide the property manager's company in a private message but I'd rather not publish his name on the forum just in case this person is scouring these message boards (I know it is unlikely but I'm a little paranoid about the situation).

Hours of scouring through the net couldn't have given me better information. looks like I've got some work to do.

I'm new myself, in the process of scouring for my first investment property and learning the values here in Denver.

Newbie Alert - I've been scouring the MLS ever since I bought my condo two years ago, just keeping an eye on property values in my neighborhood etc.

There are full-time people who scour deals and lists daily, and when they find a deal they jump on it within seconds.With that said, you can also have a lot of advantages if you have a full-time job, good credit, etc.
