Methods to use for finding your first deal?

[Nathan Thompson]

Was looking for some advice and/or methods used to develop a list of potential deals, and what exactly qualifies a property as a potential deal. As of now I've used zillow, craigslist and drving for dollars as my main sources, and am not sure if broadening my qualifications is neecessary, as about 5 hours of driving for dollars yielded only about 25 prospects. Is this typical, or am I most likely looking over houses that have potential that I cannot see?
