I am working overseas but want to buy a retirement home in Colorado. I want to buy a short sale/foreclosure cash, but I can't be there to find places and negotiate a deal. Are there agents that specialize in these matters?

Is there anyone here in Colorado you trust to be your eyes ears and legs? Are planning to rehab & rent? leave vacant until you move here?

I may have a trusted relative that could occasionaly check something out for me, but he's a busy man and I don't want to wear out my welcome unless it's an exceptionaly good prospect. We would be prepared to do some rehab if structural repair is not involved, ie, I could do it myself. There is a good chance it might stay vacant for some time; we've had horrible experiences trying to be absentee landlords.
