How to create a LAPS funnel?

[James H Webb III]

I am working for a company as an acquisitions specialist. Thus far the only thing I have specialized in is drinking the free coffee....I am very eager to build connections and network my way into becoming a successful acquisitions specialist. We invest primarily in the cities surrounding Charlotte NC and Birmingham AL. The analysis of deals is easy! Talking to people and try to create an offer that is beneficial to them is easy! The issues is finding the deals. I have spent hours on and off the clock showering the MLS, using prop stream, contacting agents, wholesalers, divorce attorneys, property managers, etc. I have only been at it for about a week however I have yet to put an offer in. Any advice would help!
