One day, I will be able to do likewise.....that's my target but for now, am accummulating for buy and hold.Its inspiring to see people get to the milestone you are targeting.....Best of luck.....

Break Down Goals: Break down larger objectives into smaller, manageable tasks or milestones.

-Starting out, intermediate level: LLC funding, business structure, different RE investment strategies & how to balance the mixture, working with others, growing business, milestones, timelines, etc

What I would do, and you should do, may not be the same thing...and they probably aren't.1 - you need to establish what you financial goals are, as they pertain to your monthly payments and your total personal debt.2 -  you need to lay out a series of Milestones, with the order and groupings based on your ability to go from one set (Milestone) to the next.3 - you need to establish a property profile for flipping/holding that is based on numbers 1 and 24 - Then, you need to find the right Micro-Markets that are filled with properties from #35 - Camp out there, and work your way through the Milestones until you've executed each one.It's likely that each Milestone will demand a different Property Profile since you will be working with a different set of goals, and a different set of financial capabilities. 

Thought I'd share some quick numbers here and I'll come back and update this thread as we hit major milestones..."

I would put half the money for the next mile stone in that account.

Just this past month, my wife and I hit our first major milestone -- 5 homes!

The third is a collectible sports car from my high school days that I bought last year because I hit a financial milestone.

Jan 21 The first case of the virus appears in the US https://www.nytimes.com/2020/0...Jan22-23Wuhan lockdown https://www.nytimes.com/2020/0...Mar 1New York emerges as the US’s wuhan https://www.businessinsider.co...Mar18 - China hits milestone “no new” local infections https://www.nytimes.com/2020/0...Suspicions of a Cover up https://www.nytimes.com/2020/0...https://www.theguardian.com/wo...Mar 23NYC Shut down https://www.businessinsider.co...Based on the differences in government ability/willingness to enact a lockdown I think the US in particular (similar to Italy) will suffer from new cases of covid19 for a while longer than china.

It was definitely a great feeling after every milestone throughout the journey and then some anxiety in between.
