Flipping how to find off market deals? Good states?

[Cynthia Miller]

I want to do some flips to get some cash to reinvest in rentals. I was thinking about  TX but i know the market there has been heating up the last few years don't know if deals with big enough spread can be found anymore at least near the N, Dallas area.  Anyone in TX want to chime in? 

 Can anyone suggest some other states where the prices are still relatively low but there is a demand for housing?

What is the best way to find off market deals?
