This concept is now what I base the majority of an interview with a potential hire for my team- in the form of a simple question- What can you teach me about? 

*It should also be noted, I was building a relationship with the commercial lender there for many months beforehand- asking for meetings, bringing in financials, we interviewed each other etc.10.

If the agent had a property manager contact, and it seems like the condo can rent out with cash flow, id start interviewing that a project manager and go from there. 

...we should get Brandon and Josh to interview you once it's all said and done! 

@Doug Utberg,  I have interviewed hundreds of investors who have used the different platforms.

Start interviewing people.

@Omari Heflin I just interviewed Erik Stark and he has a very cool system to get qualified seller leads for apartments.

Also listen to all the podcasts that featured interviews with wholesalers.

Do I interview them?

I have a basic strategy I would like to run by some of you more experienced REIs:To find the best Real Estate Agents with an investor mindset, talk to many lenders (Mortgage company, private hard money lenders, banks, etc) and ask for their referrals, or whose name they see the most in their paperworkTo find the best Real Estate Lenders, talk to many Real Estate Agents and ask for referrals for REI Lenders.I will be going in to banks and real estate agencies to start interviewing these lenders and RE Agents, and I was wondering, what questions would you ask a real estate lender?
