I have done some conservative calculations based on my current cashflow and I can be confident that I will have at least $46,000 by that September 2025 milestone.

I started this year with a straightforward goal to acquire my third investment property and broke up my yearly goal into quarters as a milestone to keep myself accountable and focused.

Looking forward to the next milestone for you.

Tying this increase to a general milestone makes it seem more common (e.g.

I'm 45 and married to a great 4th-grade teacher in Gila Bend, Arizona.I'm not afraid of recreating my future and I have my goals and milestones in place. 

-Should I asked for more money if I reach certain milestones?

At the same time, identify and get in touch with key subcontractors to get a sense of their respective scopes of service, cost and timelines.Do the same on the permitting front.You should use your understanding of the cost and permitting process to frame the terms and conditions of your purchase offer and the release of earnest money to meet the milestones dictated by project schedule.Before you do any of the above, it is advisable to make your very first step to be to figure out the market value of the project you intend to create and deduct cost of sales and the % of profit you'd like the deal to generate.

Congrats on your milestone, James.

Everyone has incentive to finish and obviously you have contracts in place and milestones that need to be made on time but it worked out for these guys using this model. 

Quote from @Eliott Elias: Never pay the contractor up front and make expectations as clear as possible in the beginning  As Eliott said, you need to make sure your contract with the trades is very specific with details, milestones, inspection points, etc.
