I would recommend that you start off by reading the Ultimate Beginners Guide that was put together by BP. Here is the link: https://www.biggerpockets.com/ultimatebeginnersgui...
Chapter 4 as an investment business plan section which will be very helpful. Here are some of the items that you would want to consider for your business plan:
Mission Statement
Goals
Strategy
Time Frame
Market
Criteria
Flexibility
Financing Deals
How Deals Are Done
Teams & Systems
Exit Strategy/Backup Plan
Example Deals
Financials
