I found a few that were very proactive that I really enjoyed working with and will use in the future.
Inventory levels are 25% of what they were in 2010 in my area so I don't even bother seriously looking right now.

It's definitely possible to find solid investments right now, it isn't like the pros just throw their hands up, they are out there grinding and finding deals.
If you're looking for investments, I would suggest NOT using an agent to find you properties because in my experience most agents are not aware of what constitutes a good investment. Even if they have their own, they are often holding onto money losers.
You don't have to have your license, you just need an agent who is fine with you being in charge, picking out things to look at and operating at your pace.
