I can send over some tips for interviewing PM’s if you’d like at least or help you connect with an agent as well who might be able to guide you in greater detail.

I've already passed my test and am ready to interview brokers.  

So start interviewing contractors, learn how permitting works, anything that the flippers are doing, you need to know how to do.3.

Especially because speed is the name of the game (in most cases).. at the same time it's worth it to interview lenders and go with recommendations.

What are important questions to ask people I am interviewing when trying to determine if we are a good fit?

Regardless of how you find them, try to interview at least three managers1.

While you are there you can vent and interview PM's.

Start doing information interviews with people on BP, lenders, realtors, etc.

Interview and find the right one.  

I think it comes down to spending the time to interview several people (or more) for each role (realtor, property management, inspector, lender etc.) and not being afraid to keep asking around if one doesn't fit your needs.
