How do I respect my agent and not waste his time?

[Brett Fitzgerald]

My wife and I are looking at getting started with the BRRRR strategy, and I've found a couple properties relatively quickly in my area that I want to check out. I have no idea what the rehab costs will be without walking through them with a contractor. How do I determine which properties are worth calling my agent and scheduling a walk through? Even if I make a lot offers, if I stick around the 70% rule, I have a feeling not many offers will be accepted. That seems like a lot of work for my agent, without much return. How do I not waste his time?

Thanks!
