How do I look for flippers and look for off-market properties?

Question

I am in my undergrad at Columbia University but originally from upstate SC. The Charlotte market is incredibly interesting to me but networking remotely has been a problem (unable to attend REIA meetings). I would love to speak with flippers or to get suggestions for how I can connect with them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

@Ned Roche find great off-market deals (by marketing to motivated sellers).  Put the deals under contract, email them to cash buyers in your area.  BOOM! you have a wholesaling business.  You can also buy lists of cash buyers from findcashbuyers.com or similar services, or simply use Trulia heat maps to filter for cash transactions in your target areas and build your own lists. Finding flipper (cash buyers) is easy if you can find deals to attract those buyers.

Type in, "Sell my home fast Charlotte, NC" into google and you'll be connected with every adword-paying, or reputation-based wholesaler in the area. Call them, and ask them what they have available. Usually they're off market.

@Russ Scheider thank you for the specific answer. That gives me something to work with.

What is your plan for marketing to find the off-market deals? Do you have a budget for direct mail? If so, what sort of target list are you thinking of? Keep in mind that you have to get creative in the competitive markets. Absentee Owners might already be getting lots of offers.
