This morning I went out and interviewed with 2 franchise brokerages (whose branches are privately owned as most of you may well know).

Once that's done, get to listening to the free BiggerPockets Podcast - A really great podcast with interviews and a ton of great advice.

I would ask a few questions when interviewing the property manager.What do you do to ensure top dollar and lowest vacancy?

The situation: Recently moved back to where I was born and raised (Vallejo, CA/Bay Area) and after several interviews I'm needing to decide between a few job offers:1-Enterprise Rent-A-Car (Mgmt Trainee)2-Sequoia Equities (Apt Leasing Consultant)3-Redfin (Sales support)The dilemma: I do have an interest in REI, would love to be able to coordinate some flips as well as delve into buy and hold Multifamily opportunities (which is where prop mgmt comes into play).

To find this, you would have to ask each agent you interview and ask for an address so that you can verify they have in fact flipped at least one.

Ask for references, interview couple different providers and then select one you like the most.

Just because they have interviewed people that may or may not be on the up and up 100% doesn't mean I can't make myself better by listening.

I would love to interview or shadow anyone with knowledge they are willing to share.

He interviews experienced investors and as you can imagine, they have many creative ideas.  

I would suggest that you interview several Realtors and ask them the following questions, to ascertain if they are truly Investor Friendly, or if they are throwing you a sales pitch.1.
