New Investor seeking agents to find deals

So, I'm thinking that I am going to email like 20 real estate agents in my area and tell them what I am looking for and have them watch out for deals for me.

1. Is this a good idea?

2. Should I just say call me whenever you find a very motivated seller, or should I give the agents specific criteria like a certain % under market value?

3. Should I be the one negotiating the deals with the sellers or should I be letting the agent do that?

4. Should I only be working with real estate agents who have worked with investors a lot in the past? I'm guessing those agents would know which investor friendly clauses to add to the standard purchase contract.

5. What other advice do you have for me regarding this?
