Why do no agents call back? 4 different agents in the past 2 weeks I get no return calls. I tell them I am interested in a certain property and I tell them if you have any more in the area around this price range I would like to see them as well. That say I'll put something together and call you back And then... Nothing

I assume you mean buy and hold, then.
Save up money for a down payment
Get a job so you have income to qualify you for the loan
Get pre-approved for a loan
Now you're ready to start acquiring properties. You may still get a little pushback when starting out. But with these qualification and a bit of persistence you'll find an agent who will help you.

@Dylan Burnett sorry bud as others have stated your not in a position at this point to take up an agents time. As an agent I also would not be willing to take you out to properties. You can easily get there one day just not there yet.
@Jon Holdman laid out the 3 bullet points needed to buy properties. Once your all set with those then agents will spend time with you.

Get used to it. This is called life and the way things work. Its rough out there. I remember when I was 21 and my thought process, then I found out the way things are. The responses you got were from the guys you are calling and their thought process if you were to call any of them.

It is a shame. I am a realtor and real estate agent myself and unfortunately I have the same problems when trying to reach my kind. For some reason some real estate agents think they are too high and mighty to be returning phone calls. If it is something you want be sure to pester them for a little while going through different means such as email and texting. If they do not respond to you then just think of it as their loss. Again just keep trying there are those that are hungry to work if you have POF or a means of buying the property.
