When you find a deal you like, call the broker (email isn't enough) to learn more. Introduce your background + your search parameters and encourage the broker to keep you in mind even outside of the deal you called about. You'll be shocked how often they circle back with you.

Also, once you send your first serious LOI with reasonable terms, a sell-side broker will take you seriously. You'll move up on their list of buyers to contact before a new deal goes on the MLS. So make sure those early LOIs are buttoned up.
