Business Plan Basics

Richard Salazar

Posted Aug 22 2014, 18:02

Hello

My name is Richard and I am just getting started as a Real Estate Investor. I am in the process of writing a business plan. I want to build a rental portfolio of investment properties. After I finished writing my business plan I have a experienced investor/partner that I am going to pitch to raise money for my business. I am going to take him out for lunch. I have three questions first is how long should my business plan be? My second question is how do I know and tell the difference between a great deal and a bad one? My last question is when I am pitching my plan to this experienced potential investor/partner should I focus on ROI or the deal it self? Can anyone help me answer my questions and give me some direction please?
