First large acquisition Business Plan

[Ian Ray]

Hello all,

So, as a Business Consultant by trade, I never really thought I would find myself asking this question, but here I am.  I am looking for advice on how to structure a Business Plan for a multifamily acquisition I am eyeballing.  It is a rather large first deal to do in Multifamily (250 units, 5 retail spaces in addition), and it is a property that has tremendous capacity for forced appreciation, as well as multiple viable exit strategies.

I have written numerous business plans for different business types, but I have never done an in depth plan for real estate to secure funding on this scale.  I am well aware that I will need to partner with a more experienced investor in this deal, but I want to make sure I have my ducks in a row before I go shopping it to people.  I realize I am a newbie in the area of acquiring something this size, but I have every desire to appear professional none the less. 

I know how to run the numbers, I know what to look for in the analysis, I am just unaware of any specific items I need to be sure to include in a business plan for something like this that, if left out, would lead to me potentially appearing amateurish (which I am), and missing funding. 

Any advice that can be given with such vague information is appreciated.  If one needs more detailed information, please private message me. I have an NDA and a Non Compete that I would like you to sign before going into more details.  Thank you for all of the help you guys are going to provide.

Bigger Pockets always comes through.

@Ian Ray- What do you mean "eyeballing"?  Did you underwrite the deal and analyze it?  How do you know there is the capacity to force appreciation?  How have you already concluded multiple exit strategies?
