Hi guys,

I own a successful business that sells electronics. I just discovered (well, got the business card) that a customer of mine is a CEO of an office and warehousing real estate company that makes an after tax profit of €25M/year.

I found those figures on their corporate website, the company also trades publicly. He's not the owner - the owner of the US parent company is an American worth well into the nine figures.

He's a very busy guy in his 50's - I had to transfer his calendar onto his new cell phone and noticed his schedule is jam-packed.

I want to get going in real estate, and if possible work closely with him.

My current business is okay, but doesn't require a lot of my time and I don't see it increasing 10 fold down the line. Rather than running it for a few hours a day and becoming a digital nomad, I need a challenge.
I've been absorbing books on real estate and was thinking of buying, fixing and renting out a single family home in a good neighborhood as a simple entry into REI, but working with this person could change things dramatically.

How do I approach him while showing respect for his time?

What do I ask?
