'New Kid on the Scene🧐' : How do I impress my new mentor?

[Robert Lolofie]

I have a commercial and property management internship under my belt. I have my plumbers license. I have verbal commitment from an investor to back my first RE deal. 

I made this new connection this summer with the investor who is doing exactly what I want to do. I asked for this man to take my under his wing this winter and teach me all that he can. 

He has two in-house renovation teams that I will work with. As well as taking me along to analyze properties and showing me how his spreadsheets work.  

To all you Residential investors and hard money lenders: What would impress you most to see from a young, scrappy, and hungry individual? Certain books, certain websites, certain habits, certain licenses, certain friends, certain shows? Anything will help! Thanks in advance!
