First time lender meeting

[Travis Duehr]

Hi all,

I am just starting my adventure into the real estate world, and as I search for lenders for a multifamily property I stumbled across a fortunate opportunity. A coworker of mine gave me the opportunity to meet with 2 vice presidents of a commercial division in a large bank to help educate me on lending options I will have available to me as my career progresses, and assist in getting me started. I am currently a college student.. leaving me with very little capital to leap into too large of a deal immediately. I am interested in starting with smaller (1-4) multis and transitioning to larger as things mature.

My question is how could I be most productive with this meeting? I have done a fair bit of research over the past couple of years, but also what to be respectful of their time as to preserve other opportunities. Any recommendations on how a small wannabe investor can make the most of this? Would greatly appreciate any input!
