Looking for an agent and pulling comps without intent to buy.

[Andrew Clark]

I am currently a graduate student with 9 months left until graduation. I will not have the capital to purchase my first property until a few months after graduation (about a year from now), but I want to get started at looking at properties on the MLS and better learn my market.

1. Will an agent have a problem with working with me given that I don't have the intent to buy a property for another year? 

2. Does an investor without an RE license have to rely on an agent to pull comps? 

3. How can an investor pull comps as a practice analysis? I ask this because I doubt an agent will want to pull comps for their client if he does not have the intent to buy it.
