locating a potential rehab property question

[Mikey Cas]

Hey guys I was wondering when rehabbing if you can find some good deals through mls and realtor websites and asking real estate agents to email leads etc. Its my first rehab and I have found some properties that have some potential. I am starting small so I would be happy making 10-15k on my first deal after all closing costs etc. I would love to make a lot more but I dont have a lot of capital/credit for improvements. You guys have told me with wholesaling and assigning contracts you wont find anything through mls but does that apply to finding rehab deals? Do most people go hunting through town finding distressed properties on their own? Just looking to start off small and build up little by little and gain experience. Thanks for any help and advice it is greatly appreciated.
