Hello all,My husband and I are looking to invest in a STR in the Scottsdale/Phoenix area and are looking for a Real Estate agent who is investor friendly, and experienced in helping out of state investors. 

I am also a Denver investor and resident :) I would highly recommend taking a look at the BiggerPockets agent finder, that will give you a shortlist of some agents you can interview and agents on BiggerPockets are investor friendly who tend to specialize in finding investment opportunities versus average agents who focus on helping families find homes. https://www.biggerpockets.com/business/finder/agentsMy best advice is come up with a couple questions, take the time to meet with each agent over coffee or at least have a phone call.

I would run from people like OP as an agent. 

Many agents are part-timers, and you need to weed those out. 

Quote from @Guadalupe Batana: Learning about different types of loans is always a smart move, especially as an agent.

Hi Kareem, congratulations on getting started as an agent. 

@Wale Lawal is the top investor agent in Houston

It's an insurance agent!

If you do, I recommend you hire a real estate agent to help you lease up the units.

I imagine this is a similar model to Redfin's associate agent program that pays by hour/tour.
