Finding a real estate agent

[Eric Melin]

Hello! I'm brand new to Bigger Pockets and brand new to real estate investing. I'm just starting with the education process and my first question is about real estate agents. I actually know quite a few agents as it's by far the most common side gig for my day job (pilot). Once I start looking for deals wound it be advantageous to work with multiple agents or is it best to stick with one? Is there any sort of conflict of interest that could tarnish a relationship? The agents I know and trust the best are people that I would consider friends so I'd hate to step on any toes or burn any bridges.
