@Tim Simmons provides a comprehensive list.Consider also that two investors armed with the same information might come up with 2 very different prices for the same loan. 

Pretty comprehensive and starts from a perspective of not a lot of previous knowledge. 

Sounds like a good plan to me.Although this is not a comprehensive list, it will get you started.

Start your education with books that provide a solid overview of real estate investing, finding deals, funding deals, and managing rentals. 3.

The business plan should include a comprehensive checklist all expects of the deal including all expenses, and your exit strategy (if applicable). 

That is why prudent partners start with a comprehensive agreement in writing spelling out the targeted activity, targeted markets, goals, price ranges, and mechanisms for dissolution in the (hopefully unnecessary) event that dissolution becomes necessary.

You will get a lot of take-aways from each of these sources and make your own path.Last but not least for a great overview on how to get started as an agent, Ricky Carruth has his free online course called Zero to Diamond.

Comprehension is very important and can be costly.

It's a solid overview of the whole lease-purchase model.
