Finding positive cash flow where prices are high relative to rent

[James Jackson]

My questions are: What is the best approach to finding properties that will cash flow when the general rental income for a given area is low relative to the price of properties? I'm assuming you have to buy well below the market value. Which means there may be some elements of a distressed property. Or even foreclosures. Are realtors a good source? FSBO? I would think also that everyone in the business are chasing these same deals. I just want one good property to start with.
