What are your REI goals for 2017?

[Samantha Soto]

I'm a big believer in not only setting goals, but also sharing them with others.  When you vocalize your goals to others, you are more likely to follow through on them.  I'm going to share mine, and I would love to hear all of yours too no matter how large or small!  May 2017 be a year of growth and prosperity for all of us!

For starters, I intend to read one book/month related to REI, including books on negotiating and sales so that I can improve my skills in those areas. Additionally, I want to close on two more properties with the intent to rent them out long term. I am looking for properties in Huntsville, AL or Indianapolis, IN. Finally, my husband and I have set a goal of moving out of Los Angeles and into a market where we can invest in our own backyard. We hope to accomplish this within 2017, but this is the biggest and hardest goal...so there may be some flexibility with the timeframe.
