Short sales

I have my ducks in a row and I'm ready to start putting 'we buy houses' ads out online, mail campaign, fliers, and signs. My biggest 'what if' right now is I know when I put out the I buy ads, the majority (I'm guessing around 90%+) will be people behind on their payments/short sale.

I'm confident I can work a wholesale deal, but I'm not sure on short sales.

Would I flip the short sales to my realtor? Do I make any money on that or is that a scratch my back and I scratch yours kind of a deal?

I have a buyer on my wholesale email list that said he can work short sales if I don't want to, but I don't want to seem like a total noob.

Should I try to work the short sales or pass them along for right now?
