Im looking to do a BRRR or even some lighter renovation and will need someone trustworthy, communicative and good with out of area investors! 

And whether they find all of these little issues or not, it will still result in thousands of professional fees and many hours of your time to deal with it.Then you need to look at the other side, if you are mis-stating your tax returns, you will also end up providing bogus numbers to banks (also not a good one to lie to), potential investors, potential buyers, impacting the value of your properties by over stating your expenses...Honesty is a great policy. 

I can say that what they are doing is good and bad.

Is this a good idea?

We have stared the project about a month ago, completely new interior including adding new HVAC all new electrical, flooring, cabinets, tops and so on along with new driveway exterior paint and some siding.My contractor is also an investor, so we were lucky there, good insight to share and also, he has lots of leads for renters.But he is NOT a good photographer LOL. here are some progress pictures .Also, I will like to share that we are closing on one more single-family property early next week and we have a duplex under contract.

These do not make good sites for MTRs.- Section 8 properties will be unfurnished.

Would be a good way to narrow down your search. 

Are there any key factors to look for in selecting a good commercial property real estate agent?

Rehabbing our primary seems like a good tactic to offset high(er) interest rates right now and can benefit from later down the road. 

yes, that is a good point, inflation is really out of control.
