I think I'm expecting too much of buyer agents

Recently I have been working with two investor friendly buyer agents to find a potential rental property (100-150K with 25% down).

Both said there are a lot of good deals out there for rentals that match my criteria. Both sent me an initial MLS query of a few properties they like, but when I replied with a cashflow analysis of the properties showing they didn't cashflow well, I never received a response from either. I assumed they would shoot me a few more properties to look at, but never expected no response, especially after they both said a lot of good deals where in the area.

When a buyer agent says there are a lot of good deals, Am I expecting too much to ask them to prove it on paper? I have bought in the area a few times in the past so they know I'm not wasting their time, what gives?
