Any recommendable purchasable "systems" for finding Deals?

Hi, I am a flipper in MD and interested in automation to increase leverage in my business. Similar to many other investors out there this year I can no longer find deals on the MLS that are worth doing after the competitive bids start racking up. I am developing my Direct Mail program from scratch but am looking for 2 deals RIGHT NOW and won't be seeing direct mail results for awhile (as per the hyper valuable forum posts I've checked out on BP). Networking has produced some wholesaler leads, but I have not been pitched a property I'm interested in yet. My market has two Wholesaling Giants that blanket mailboxes and buses, then they sell crazy high to inexperienced investors. Almost everyone else I've met doesn't actually have deals. I've seen advertisements for Kent Clothier's Find Motivated Seller's and the "Pre Vacant House Goldmine Program", and am wondering if there is any reason to invest in a system to keep things moving while I get my marketing deployed.

I previously asked about Kent Clothier's System and saw some lukewarm reviews of it.  Are my high volume investors out their using staff to manually evaluate the typical tax/probate/auction suspects?  Are you going old school and door knocking because your Direct Mail response rate is getting killed?  Would you recommend a particular system to an investor who has done a few deals but is not looking to hire until roughly 6 months from now?  Or would you recommend a specific forum post to check out with thoughts on getting some deals started now.  There are innumerable places to throw your money, clearly we only want to choose those that give us the best return.  Thanks for your help!
