Am I crazy to think I can find a deal on the MLS in Utah county to flip?

[Barrett Anderson]

I'm ready to finally dive in and find my first house to flip. Right now I'm starting to look on the MLS and so far all the deals I am finding that are even close to profitable are short sales but even those don't give me enough cushion that I would like and all those already have multiple offers. Am I crazy to think I can find a deal on the MLS in Utah county to flip? I know about many of the other ways to find deals, but right now I don't have the funding or desire to do direct mail and other targeted marketing strategies (cold calling, drive for dollars, bandit signs). I am willing to use a wholesaler but I don't really know many in Utah and how to use them. Right now my plan is to be aggressive on the MLS and place a lot of offers at the price that makes sense and hope someone will accept my offer. Any thoughts?
