Finding a realtor -- catch 22?

[Craig L.]

I'm in the process of building my team -- specifically, finding a realtor to listen to my REI goals and bring possible deals to me based on them. I've heard others advise finding a realtor that works with other investors since they will be more in tune with what is and isn't a good deal for an investor. However, if I'm just starting out and am working with a realtor that works with other investors, I doubt they will be presenting me with good deals. They'll be bringing them to their other investor clients with a good track record and simply give me the deals that those other investors pass on (i.e. the poor deals). Do you just have to accept this until you have a proven track record, or should you find a realtor that doesn't work with other investors?
