Best way to get property details to learn deal analysis?

[Ashwani K.]

As a beginner, I would like to get some comps on properties in local market, and work on my deal analysis skills. Eventual goal to be able to smell a good deal and move quickly on a good deal.  

However, as a common guy, I am not really sure how I get information on deals in my market. Agents or sellers won't talk to me if I ask them to give me deals that come along their way (they want serious buyers and makes sense), and not sure if wholesalers are interested in sending me proformas  just b/c I want to learn.

I am assuming this is a common complaint from beginners to deal analysis learners. How to overcome this?
