Newbie taking an established investor to lunch.. What do I ask?

Hello BP,

I am what you would call a newbie.  I am still in college and have not done a deal yet. However, I am always looking at properties, and trying to take investors for coffee/lunch to pick their brains.  My friend who I played college ball with has hooked me up with grandfather who is an established real estate agent who owns his own agency.  I have a bunch of questions written down that I want to ask him, but I was wondering if you guys have any input?  Are there specific questions that I should be asking him? Are there questions I should not ask him?  Does he want to hear anything specific? Thanks again BP community! Any advice is appreciated!

    Great Question.

    1. Why did you get involved in real estate?

    2. What type of RE investing do you do? And why?

    3. What do you enjoy about it?

    4. What are the challenges?

    5. What are common mistakes newb RE investors make?

    6. Can you name 3 top business books you have read that have made an impact in your RE investing?

    @Jordan Thibodeau  Thanks Jordan! I had a few of the same questions. Some of them I didn't have. Thanks for your input!

    @Tom Valichka No problem sir.

    Oh and, if you had to do it all over again, what would you have done differently?
