Process from finding properties to owning the property

[Cody Jensen]

Hello,

I would like to know the process to purchase a property without using a realtor, using yellow letters to get contacts to the owner of the property. Then going through the purchasing process. So would it be, send yellow letters, get in contact with the owners, if they are interested in selling, make them an offer? , Get a mortgage? then what? would that be the process? 

Thanks,

Cody
