Interview 2 or 3 realtors : the good ones will have everything you need.

You could also check HAR and look at listings in the area to see which agents are doing a lot of business and know the area well (I know more doesn't always mean better, but a lot of agents do no business).Either way, any agent you interview should provide you a Net Sheet so you can see what you'd be taking home + they should be able to justify with data how they got there. 

I will be driving up this weekend to tour the property and looking to connect with some property managers and begin interview process in order to move forward with the deal.

Marketing in street corners over weekends and please follow city ordinances as appropriate.There are few REIA groups that cover various topics including interviews with wholesalersGood luck.

What are some "traps" I might do in the interview that would turn a lender off in working with me?  

Then it's a hard no, or an "I have to interview the pet" situation.I allow dogs as long as I can meet them first and I charge a pet fee (not extra rent). 

I have been listening to books, looking at interviews and listening to the podcasts.

Interview people if you are unsure. 

(them being fully aware of what's going on)HOA cancelled interview with the first buyers (who breached) not new buyer and on this day the buyers threatened to sue me personally and file a lis pendens on the home if we don't sell to them.
