Looking at 1st properties this week - advice please

[N/A N/A]

So after a year or more of reading, listening to tapes. setting up my team of accountants, mortgage brokers, building a reserve of cash and then stalling because of fear....I enter the game this week. I'm meeting with my buyer's agent to view about 10 properties over 2 days.

I'm looking for advice on on what to say to my buyer's agent and more importantly what not to say. Particularly, do I want to tell him this is my first investment property? Do I want to tell him that I'm the president of a company? How much information do I release about myself? I've read books that say....be a straight shooter with everyone you deal with in REI since it's those relationships that will make your future deals even more successful. Other books say don't tell the broker too much as they may (purposely or accidentally) let that information slip to the seller or the seller's agent.

What questions should I be asking him to determine this is someone I want to work with? Will he be looking for some kind of contract that locks me in to using him? Any advice on what I can expect this week will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

PS I'll post a recap of my experience once it's over (provided I survive it of course :D )
