The irony of a business plan

[Jeremy W.]

I'm curious on your thoughts about creating a plan prematurely.

Do you think a plan is futile if you know nothing about real estate? I write this doing extensive RE work/research in the last 2 months, and FINALLY finding out what my goals, strategy, and exit plans will be.

Does this make sense? I hope this will find newbies and keep them from rushing into a plan before they know what they are ACTUALLY doing.
