Investor-Friendly Agent while not living in the area

[Luca Perinuzzi]

Looking for any tips or advice on being an investor friendly agent in an area you do not live in. I currently live in Long island NY and am studying for my real estate license. 

Is it possible/feasible to work with investors to buy properties in other markets (Upstate:Buffalo, Rochester, Albany. Out of state - (get a different/reciprocal license and work in a different state) Houston, Indianapolis, Columbus/Cleveland, etc.) while also living in long island. 

I bring this up because I'm aware investors shy away from New York because of the taxes, and especially areas like long island/Queens area because of the significant increase to price of entry. Am I being unrealistic with these aspirations?

Also currently reading the Millionaire Real Estate Agent and am aware of one of the myths that he states which is it can't be done in my market. 

Any thoughts/advice are appreciated, Thanks!
