Choosing Realtors for Out-of-State Investing

[Philip C.]

Hello there,

I'm looking into investing in rental property (duplex) out of state and I've narrowed it down to 3 cities where I would like to search. Since I'm new to all this I'm not sure what the protocol is. Is it okay to ask 3 different real estate agents (one from each city) to send me listings that fit my criteria, so I can compare? In the end, I'd only be buying one property, so I want to make sure I'm not wasting the time of the other two agents. Any advice?
