Hi Everyone,I  am a professional wholesaler and property locator, I locate property on/off market, do a full due diligence on title, encumbrances, taxes ect...

I'm Pratik Patel, a healthcare professional excited to join the BiggerPockets community.

They provide fake checklists saying units are repaired according to agreed-upon inspection reports only to walk in to a home that is more damaged than it was during escrow.

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.

Again, large commitment of time, patience, and ability needed.The amateur of “semi pro” investor should realize that the professional investors (such as myself) spend ALL DAY EVERY DAY doing the above.

Any guidance from experienced investors, real estate professionals, or anyone who has faced a similar situation would be greatly appreciated. 

Contractors, unless you have a working relationship with them, normally do not want you bouncing ideas off them.Understand what their hourly rate is, have a discussion with them that you are okay with paying them an hourly rate if they walk the property with you and provide you a scope of work along with an explanation of what you can/can't get away with in regards to improvements.ask them if you go with them, if they can credit you the amount that you paid.Once you develop a working relationship with a few contractors, you can bounce ideas off them and expect quality responses.I do not invest in New York.Best of luck.
