If it hit the internet, theres no money to be made

I get this feeling that when I look at properties on the internet there is no way to close on a good deal. Its seems tho as there is some sort of hidden deal making that goes on between when a Realtor is asked to sell a home and when it actually hits an MLS. You know what I mean? Im going to bet that every Realtor has their investors business cards in their back pocket, when they are selling a home those investors get dibs first. If the deal is not worth it enough to make money then the investor pass on it and then you see it up on the internet.

Can anyone back me up on this theory? Essentially if a property makes it to the public then its not worth investing?

I've heard this before and I completely disagree. My last 17 straight deals I have found on the Internet. If I were to doubt the source of deals, I might doubt referrals ( or bandit signs, and postcards) :D
