It is sad to say, but for the most part, real estate agents are a daffy bunch. This is over 25 years of real estate agent experience talking. They don't like "Different" or "Unusual" and most of them see investor clients as more work for the same amount of pay. However, in their defense, there are lots of folks who identify themselves as "Investors" and the vast majority of them go nowhere - so some agents are just playing the odds on this one.
Your first challenge is to track down an agent that does not suck. This will be hard. Once you have, you chat with them about what you are looking for and they create a search for you that emails you with whatever frequency you want, the properties you are looking for. You then interact with the agent and call out properties you like that are showing up. If you act like an active client, a good agent will treat you like an active client.
