Take my advice with a grain of salt since I am new to Real Estate investing myself (some of my family and friends are investors though; owning roughly 10 properties each). 

I think it's important to have a business plan. i havent started my investing yet so take my opinion with a grain of salt but the more I think about it the more complicated it seems. really what im trying to do is just buy multi family properties at some kind of discount. add value by renovations or by purchasing in a down market. then fix it up to my companies standards and get them rented out one unit at a time. some of the things ive been thinking about include financing. how will i finance deals after the first 4 or so when the banks stop lending traditionally. also how much do I need in resurves to cover everything from fees to extra holding costs to a major cap expenditure. i want my business to have a plan so i will succeed no matter what. so i think its important to think about those types of concerns regardless of what type of investing you're doing and factor those in to your plan. im excited to save money for the first deal im only at 3k so far.
