What are you’re Real Estate goals for the New Year? Mine are...

[Weston Harding]

Happy 2018 Ya’ll!

The New Year is a great way to make some New Years resolutions towards advancing you're investment goals! 

I started my first investment with a 4 flat on the northwest side. I used FHA financing and lived in one of the units and rented out the other two. The following year I purchased a 4 flat, a little more west from my previous property. I used conventional financing for this one and did not live at the property, rented out all the units. Then in 2011 I opened up my own Real Estate Brokerage; X Plus Real Estate and began forming a team!

Following that I obtained a couple more buildings just a few short years later. Finally getting myself to owning, 7 buildings; with 26 UNITS TOTAL. This past year I have now begun to sell a few buildings, working towards my first ground up development and launched my new website for X Plus Real Estate! 

My New Years resolution for 2018 is to continue to work on my Investment portfolio in Chicago, sell a few more of my buildings and grow the X Plus Real Estate Team!

What is you're New Years Investment Resolution for 2018?

Well done Weston! Sounds like you have been killing it. I am new to investing, but for the last few months I have been living on BP learning as much as I can. I have decided to finally take action so my goals for 2018 are to buy my first two investment properties. I am currently in the process of getting an LLC and then I will start looking/analyzing deals and making offers. You have to start somewhere right?
