How DO I Find Buyers Agent for my First Rental?

[Anup Prodduku]

As Brandon always says in his podcasts, I have been developing my knowledge in real-estate by closely following BP. Now its time for me to get started but even after all the warm up I'm extremely nervous for two reasons. 

1. Is buying in a hot market with RE crash speculations a good idea?

2. Will my buyers agent be reliable and get me a steal on the property?

How do I find a reliable Real Estate Agent. After working for couple of months what if they are not as you expected? How do you walk away and search for another? Need help community!!
