Have an agent look up the all cash purchases in your area as well and who bought it, track them down and contact them.

I was even on the right path and bought a house and rented it out when I transferred.

I first became interested in real estate when in my junior year of college, a professor of mine told us about how he bought a home at every base he was stationed and was making $10k a month.

I bought a house using owner-occupancy VA loan even though I was overseas.

Bought this with a FHA owner occupy loan .

The best story I heard was at a condo complex where I bought two condos at auctions for around $40K where it used to go for $110K, thought I did great.

I bought my first one there and am absolutely killing it.

I recently bought a property with a tenant already living in one unit month to month.

I have more than enough in the account to pay for the land - about 4X the cost of the land with still a couple hundred K in it if i bought it. 

I'm SO glad I bought it!
