finding deals on MLS in Mass?

[Chris Roche]

I have been doing a lot of reading, researching, and watching webinars. Some people say you can't find deals on MLS, some say you can. I am sure that the best way to find a deal is by networking and finding someone who needs to sell their property quickly. My question is this, is it possible to find deals on MLS specifically in the Boston to South Shore market? Seems like MLS deals have lots of competition and go higher than asking. I am looking for flips or buy and hold multis.

Thanks
