Orange County, CA lead pipeline for flips

I'm currently working as an appraiser for commercial real estate at CBRE. I'm looking to get my beak wet in the flipping business here in OC. I've read a few of the books on the subject but have no practical experience in flipping thus far.

I'm struggling with getting my lead pipeline going. MLS is so hard to find something, the good deals are gone in a day. Just wondering what marketing strategies have worked for some of the people making deals in socal?

Would be very much open to partner up with anyone willing to give me a shot.

I do have some capital to invest from selling my condo recently in addition to having lined up a few investors who would be willing to provide additional capital to fund a project. I'm also an agent and can run the numbers easily.

Any suggestions would be well received. Thank you.

@Andrew Fielder, welcome and glad to hear your're also making the transition from being RE professional to a RE investor. I'm based out of the San Fernando Valley, and I'm familiar with my local market. I assist several local fix and flip investors who operate across LA including Eagle Rock, Silver Lake, and SFV. @Brandon Turner @Joshua Dorkin

Check out Better Shelter CEO, Steve Jones. He was on the BP podcast, and he's a pro at flipping in OC. Here's the link to his website and podcast:
