And when you are interviewing, keep yourself in the driver's seat. 

should I be interviewing real estate Lawyers now?

Actually more specifically, from Grant Cardone who was interviewed by the guys and highly recommended listening to the podcast, which I am now a huge fan of.The short story about myself is that after graduating from college with my BS in Business Admin a few years ago I was looking to find a specific career and after a few years of soul searching I've landed in commercial real estate and I absolutely love it.

You should interview agents and examine their knowledge base of REI.  

The podcasts are like interviewing 200 or so experts in the field and learning from their successes and failures.

Managers are also very hard to interview, you can pepper them with questions for a couple of hours, you can contact references, you can get referrals, you can get leases and contracts, walk through all the screening and marketing procedures...the list goes on and still end up with a manager who does not meet your expectations and it can also make REI not profitable relative to other investment opportunities (as is the case here with unnecessary vacancy). 

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.

You can go to the auction and basically interview them (preferably before the auction or while they have downtime) about the kind of properties they are looking for (e.g. price range, condition, location etc.).

I even use Skype and TeamViewer to communicate with clients so I'd highly recommend looking for one of the best with great references that interviews well with you.So look for someone you can connect with that works out for your situation.Feel free to ask here if you have questions

We want to interview a couple of additional Commercial Realtors in addition to the one we are working with as there is plenty of space to be leased.
