You probably don't want to waste your time going after foreclosures and short sales. This will lead to quite a bit of headache if you don't have patience. The only kind of sale i'd go after that was not a direct, legit sale, is an REO. This means it already went through the foreclosure process, and no one bought it, and now the bank actually owns it, and can decide what to sell it for. No 3rd parties involved. I don't think you need a realtor, if you're comfortable reading documents on your own, and want to put in some legwork to find properties.
