Stupid Question - Finding "deals"

[Isaac El]

I am new to investing and in those beginning stages most investors go through, being overwhelmed, frustrated, trying different things, so whats the best way to "find a deal"?

These are the different things I have tried so far, any advice is appreciated.

1. driving for dollars

2. cold calling the driving for dollars properties

3. cold calling lp's or properties scheduled for foreclosure auctions

4. send out regular mailer once a month

5. call brokers

6. go to foreclosure auction and try to buy property

If there is another way you recommend that I missed please let me know, 

Thank you bigger pockets community!!
