First Real Estate Showing this Weekend

Going to the first real estate showing of my hopefully long investing career this weekend. I haven't even bought a SFH before, been a renter my whole life so far.

What should I expect? How long should I expect it to take? What kind of questions should I be prepared with? Should I bring anyone other than my agent like a contractor, appraiser, or inspector? Anything you do at all your showings now that you wish you would of done earlier? I remember someone saying on one of the BP podcasts to bring a tape measure to get your own measurements, any other tips like that?

For some background, I am going with my agent to check out a duplex. Trying to house-hack my first deal. Any input/experiences appreciated!
