Hi All,I'm a real estate newbie (for now), but thinking of interviewing  various property managers in investment markets of interest to start building the teams in preparation for that first deal..I'm sure there is a list of property management interview questions posted somewhere on here, so my question is about your interview experiences.What are some things that came up in interviews that my not be typically discussed in a regular interview script.What interview answers were red flags that you wish you had caught or noticed before signing an PM agreement?
