Best lead source for flip?

Question

What are the best lead sources to get a rehab to flip (Dallas area)?  I am still new to flipping but I have had luck in having my first two deals "fall into my lap".  Now I am actively looking for property to rehab/flip, but I can't find ANY distressed properties to rehab.  I have reached out to realtors I know, recently signed on for wholesalers newsletter, checked MLS (REO prices are almost market price!), and had no luck at the most recent courthouse steps county auction.  Where are other sources I can find good leads?  Thanks for any input.

Cody...what's your price point for purchases?

I'm looking for what probably everyone else is: single family, downtown Dallas area up to Celina and all surrounding areas....I'm willing to take on very distressed properties. I'm open to all "deals", as I do my own due dilligence.  I'm basically just looking for other sources.  Wholesale is fine with me (better than nothing).  I can go the direct mail route, but I didn't really want to go there....yet.

Any suggestions on wholesalers in the area that anyone has had success with?

Everyone in DFW and the country is having the same problem. Deals are at a premium right now. They are out they but they take a lot of work to find or you pay a lot of money to have someone find them for you (wholesaler). What criteria are you focusing on?
