Advise on meeting with a Real Estate Agent

[Juan S.]

I am new to real estate investing and in preliminary stages of my real estate investment company. I would like to learn more about the local market and about areas of town best to invest in. I am meeting with a real estate investor in the next couple days and would like to be prepared for our meeting. Any suggestions on the type of questions I should ask at the meeting and why I should ask them? How would I know if the agent would be a good fit to work with a real estate investor?
