We've found Kumo to be an easy one-stop shop for visibility into all of the larger public marketplaces in one place.

I would start with clarity on what you're looking for and it's bit scary at first, but the more niche, the better. When you start communicating this to everyone that you know, brokers and targets, you become known for this niche and deals flow in your direction. Ultimately it's a relationship game and counterparties need to be very clear on what you want. It's a better use of your time when others are bringing you the deals. (Go Bombers!)
