Paying cash for REI

I have been searching for my first rental property, and I am getting beat to the punch on the good deals. IE, the pros are making cash offers as soon as a deal hits the MLS and scooping them up. I don't want to tie up all my cash, but couldn't I pay all cash to secure the property and then refi 80%? Is this a common practice?
