@Mark Fedorov thank you! I will stay away from those topics for sure. Initially, I think I was too excited and I was most likely going to give too much info. I will spend more time getting to know how well he knows the market and if he understands the type of properties I am looking for in terms of cash flow. 

I plan on finding a bank when I move there next month, but with your advise I'll definitely look for an insurance broker as well.

My meeting is this Friday morning, hopefully he will be a good connection to have!

@Eric Marofske great point! That's why I want to be as prepared as possible on all fronts. My thought process is that the agent will work harder for a person that's organized. Well at least I hope so!

@Max Householder thank you for your help. I didn't think about the difference in documents and I definitely need to make sure my agent is used to dealing with MFR

@Mark Fedorov thank you for your input, I will keep that in mind. If you don't mind me asking, what are some for sure things I should keep to myself during this meeting?

Good Morning,

      I'm new to Bigger Pockets and this is my first forum post. I am moving to Detroit in March to take a job promotion. I have been listening to BP and researching Detroit for about 8 months now and was going to invest there regardless of where my promotion was but moving to Detroit obviously makes it a lot easier. I am interested in small multi family units, preferably a duplex because this is my first property. 

I have my first meeting with a well known realtor next week and I am preparing a small packet for him with my goals and buildings I'm interested in. Goals that I've written down are number of units in a specific time frame, cost of properties, and areas I want to invest. Mind you, this is very premature, these are just the first few things that quickly popped into my mind. I want to be as organized and prepared as possible.

Can anyone help me with other things I should have prepared for my first meeting with my realtor?

@Danny F. thanks Danny. Have you invested in Illinois before?
