Investor friendly or no for primary residence

[Jesse Bruce]

Hi All, 

My wife and I are moving across the country and will start the home search process next month. We are looking for a primary residence first but I hope to invest in the area soon after. I also want to turn this property into the first in my portfolio and use it as an STR in a couple of years.

With this in mind I thought it may be best to find an investor friendly agent to start the relationship early. However, I also don't know that much about the area that we're moving to (West Palm Beach, FL) so maybe it's best to find an agent that focuses on first time home buyers (even though its not my first time). 

Thoughts?
