Seeking Advice from Experienced Investors- RE Agent Interview Q's

[Account Closed]

Good morning fellow BP members, 

I will be meeting with an investor friendly RE agent on Thursday morning and I would like to have some questions ready to go to maximize my time with the agent. I have a general idea what to ask but I'd like some feedback from the more experienced investors regarding specific questions that should be asked during the interview. What are some things that you find important when selecting an agent to work with? How do you interview them for your team? What strategies do you use when picking an agent? 

Looking forward to seeing all your responses!

 I found this statement pretty interesting. Often times agents can tell you the pluses and minuses of different lenders. I wouldnt be worried about those connections, but rather take advantage of them. I can tell you what lenders will have a smooth process and can close, what lenders are going to screw up the transaction and likely cause you to lose the deal, who has the highest and lowest rates etc.
