When on the Pennsylvania Allegheny County website(Recorder Of Deeds) specifically, how do I know if the buyer of the property paid cash or took a mortgage?

I am typically looking for at least $100 cash flow per unit and at least a 10% cash on cash return.I like to be conservative when underwriting annual expenses, and my typical underwriting guidelines are: Insurance - $500/unit Trash Removal - $1000 for under 10 units, $2000 for over 10 units Advertising & Marketing - $250/unit Liscenses & Fees - $50 to $100/unit depending on county Repairs and Maintenance - 5% of gross rental income Snow Removal & Landscaping - $1000 Management Fees - 5% of gross rental income Real Estate Taxes - from public record Utilities - use figures from listing or $150 per month per unitCould it be that most listings are grossly overpriced or am I being too conservative?
