     That was my question, how exactly do you find the deals before they hit mls or other selling platforms.

     Drive around, see ugly houses (long grass, has not been fixed in 30 years), and then mail them a letter or call them on the phone. 
    You can use propstream as well, find some deals and work them the same way

     Thanks for the info, but at the end of the day you are still working with the middle man, im new to all this, how exactly do you find a wholesaler in my area, they need to make a profit, how much do they charge for getting you a good deal on a home?

    Join FB groups and post that you are a buyer in a specified area. Specify that you are looking for wholesale, off-market deals.

    Go to sheriff auctions, see what the process looks like, talk to the buyers of the auctioned house, tell them to add you to their buyers list. 

    Good wholesalers, realize they are providing a service and if they want longevity in the market, they wont be gouging or asking too high of an assignment fee. $5-$20K I think is range for assignment fee. If you don't want to pay that, you'll have to drive for dollars, buy marketing lists, make calls, or send mailers. You'll just as much or nearly as much through that marketing/time commitment as the fee the wholesalers charge. Which is more available to you, time or money?

     Who cares, as long as the numbers make sense. All my rentals are 20% net cap or better. All at about 70% of value. 

    Good luck
