Finding a Buyer's Agent

[Daivic Vora]

Hi BiggerPockets Community, 

I am an investor interested in finding an agent to help buy my first multi-family property. The location, however, is somewhat up in the air, fluctuating between a 3-4 cities. As a result, I would like to find an agent who is able to find properties in different cities, to determine which property would be the best pick. I was wondering

1) Where and how did you find your agent? I am new to the multi-family scene, and don't have any connections

2) Did you chose to consult an agent in your target city or one near by?
