@Josh Green I would try loop net with your zip code and look for agents in your area.

I work heavily with investors and honestly, 70% never buy and do waste our time, however that is the nature of being an agent..doing what others won't because most of the 18,000+ licensed agents (just in Central FL.) are looking for the low hanging fruit and right now, there is plenty of that. 

Any advice on changing markets as a realtor, as well as determining the need for agents in a particular area would be greatly appreciated.

Advertise on Craigslist about your "Special Niche" and that you are looking for agents that are willing to learn. 

How would one go about adjusting a comp for age?  

Some tax professionals still continue to advocate s-corp for agents, but it is just incorrect in most instances.

I'm hoping to get some input from investors who are flippers and agents. My concern is always the potential liability that exists when dealing as a direct buyer while I hold a real estate license. Can anyone shed some...

I think the lowest hanging fruit would be the popcorn ceilings. 

I definitely believe your work ethic will translate over and start to bear continual fruit for you.

Most are after the Low Hanging Fruit and screw the owner.
