New Investor in Dallas, TX

I have some money to invest after selling a home that I lived in and then rented out. The properties in the my area are pretty high right now. I've only been looking at properties on realtor.com and through a website/database link my realtor sent me. Are there other (better) places I can search for properties? Also, my realtor told me to stay away from foreclosures due to possible liens on the property and that they were, in most cases, more trouble then they are worth. Is this true?

Call all of the "we buy houses" signs and you will find discounted properties from wholesalers in your area. Do a quick search for "fixer" or "handyman special" on the craigslist real estate section and you will find the wholesale deals out there.
