As such, I would never advise someone to completely abort mission just because of the economy and a looming recession.  

Some people want extra income for retirement, to fund religious missions, control over their investments, tax advantages, freedom from their job, funding for their kids’ future, etc.

I absolutely love Bigger Pockets, its mission, and the endless amount of information and tools it provides.

I am on BP often as part of my mission statement is to bring education to the public.  

My mission statement, 5 year and 10 year goals for us has yet to be finalized.

Find someone local who can show you the ropes and just get the mission accomplished.

I invest in a market and asset class I know well via methods that align with my skill set, knowledge, mission, vision and purpose.I'm content not to hunt and am no longer in a "growth phase". 

CurrentlyI've spent time writing my mission statement, setting my goals, planning my long-term goal, and running data (thank you, BiggerPockets Pro Calculators!)

I plan to be at 397 rentals in the next 5 years to complete my 10 Year Mission. 

Once you're on the board, make it your personal mission to get those old accounts collected.
