Is it rude to have your agent walk each property for you before you put in an offer?

[Mary Ainsworth]

Hello!

I am investing out of state and this is my first property, therefore, my agent has to walk and facetime me when viewing properties. I was told recently that I shouldn't make them walk all the properties with me/for me as that's inconsiderate of their time. 

However, I don't want to put in an offer until I at least see a video of it. 

I do see the person's point though, as I am willing to look at a lot of properties, but all my offers will be competitive. So I don't see myself walking more than a couple of properties for every offer I put in. And I don't see myself putting in more than 3-5 offers before one is accepted. 

I am also analyzing every property before bringing anything to my agent. 

My question: Is it inconsiderate to have them walk every property I want to put an offer in on? If that's only maybe 1 to 3 properties a week and only 10-15 in total? 

Thank you!

 How much are you paying them? How much are you investing? If it were me, I would get on a plane and fly to where I want to go. Virtually walking a property is a recipe for disaster.

Honestly it blows my mind that someone will spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a home  (probably their largest investment) and never visit it, but will run to the store to try on a pair of pants for $30...
