You can look up the rei group called Marei in Kansas City to meet wholesalers and search properties .

You can start looking at this list that BP had put together:https://www.biggerpockets.com/rei/self-directed-ir...Also I suggest you search forum because your question had been asked several times in the past so you can find some good past discussions that will be beneficial to you. 

So far I am only working with a few clients that I have found organically and haven't yet started aggressively reaching out to my sphere of influence or marketing for leads.

You can also search on zillow and CL to see what people are advertising for rent properties in the same area as your property.

Good luck in your search!
