Questions to ask a real estate agent

What specific questions should I be asking my real estate agent in regards to the market here in bemidji mn? I’m looking for single and multi-family rental properties, potential lakefront Airbnb’s, and potential flips. I guess I’m just curious if there are specific questions I need to be asking my agent in regards to the market and house hacking in bemidji.

I would ask if they are used to working with investors or have invested themselves. Lots of agents are investors, as well, does not mean we are stealing the deals. But typically an agent that does single family homes purchases for Bobby & Jane that are buying a 3/2 to start a family, do not know how to analyze a deal. I want my agent to at least grasp the numbers and not be setting me up to pay the most, so their commission is $300 higher!
