It makes great sense to talk with, meet and interview as many Realtors as you can to feel comfortable in hiring just one to represent you.

What it will do, if you are patient and understand you are ultimately 100% responsible for the investments you make, is help you understand how to evaluate a market and interview professionals to help you find success. 

When interviewing potential managers in Bridgeport here are some good questions to ask: How long have you been a property manager?

Or do you have your own leads/systems (then maybe shop it to a smaller boutique Brokeragr) Remember to interview THEM.

I am looking to interview 50 People in December from all different experience levels and segments of the real estate investing world. 

Lawyers are able to represent clients in all courts.You may want to interview a couple more realtors if the ones you contacted already are not knowledgeable in the investing aspect.If you are open to working with a remote accountant; you open yourself to more options.

He had absolutely no clues about some of the strategies that I had researched.Like every member of your team you will need to interview some to find the lawyer that will not only be knowledgeable on your field but also a good fit with your work style.

Would it be okay in this instance to forego the face-to-face interview since the prospective tenant is from out-of-state?

And yet almost every person interviewed  on Bp podcasts ( successful investors) bring up subject of having a mentor to help them start out.

Hi Karen, your best bet is to interview a few great realtors and see what each brings to the table.
