Just an odd question

I have been looking on craigslist, realtor.com, and many of the other real estate company websites. I don't have a lot of money to be able to do money down so I am looking at wholesaling properties to get funds going and then look at buying a couple of rental properties. How did some of you get started finding homes to do deals with. I see a lot of FSBO signs in the city, but they are all wanting over $100+ for their asking and the homes really don't need any repairs. I'm at a loss. I can't afford to do the yellow letters either, at least not right now. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
