A successful business plan is always preceded by in-depth research on the industry. Keep a close eye on median home values and rental prices (don’t hesitate to look outside of your current location), and research neighborhood amenities.

Build Your Marketing Plan – making use of your own unique approach in the field will be your first step in marketing and a huge asset to networking. What can you offer that no one else can? Establishing a unique brand for your business is key to laying the groundwork for a marketing plan – settling on a brand logo and mission statement can help seal the deal as well.
