What should I be asking agents as an out of state investor?

[Jared Goldwasser]

I live in Los Angeles and am looking to purchase my first investment property this year -- interested in single family or duplex units. I am targeting Cincinnati, OH as potential first market because I grew up not far from there and have at least some connections. I'm meeting with a couple agents i was referred to through my network and am wondering what critical questions I should be asking them to understand if they are the right partners for me in this market, especially considering I will be managing this investment from the other side of the country, and what info I should be prepared to provide to them. Thanks in advance for any help!
