Meeting with broker

I have an appointment with our mortgage broker this Wednesday.  We have used her before for both our houses . I made the appointment and asked to go over strategies to buy more properties without backing myself into a corner.  

I want to work on questions I should  be asking her to make sure the appointment is not a waste of her time and mine.  

Any tips or suggestion on things I should ask would be awesome.  Also I am in Alberta Canada so anyone with Canadian experience I would love to here from.

I suggest asking her about what she plans to do to ensure you don't hit a financing wall and based on that what lender sequence does she have in mind for you. Example first 4 A lenders big 5 banks, then which lenders and what will be the conditions.
I would suggest you tell her you goals (income and timeline) and have her give you a blueprint of which lenders you will use when and what they will be looking for. Based on your income goals she should be able to tell you how many units that rent at X amount you need to accomplish this over your timeline.
Dalia Barsoum is my broker she also wrote a good book on this topic.
