My goal this year was to get a home and start a profitable Airbnb business and I've reached it!

How many deals have you done YTD and what is your goal?

As those prices fluctuate, there is a builders somewhere putting his feet up waiting to see a market turn more active because the last thing he wants to do is start paying crews to build houses, that could drop in value while he's halfway through the build process and losing equity halfway into the project.

Everyone knows who the new person is and the goal is always to mess with them and test them and try to get them to spend their money on the junk so we can get the good ones. 

Finally, define your long-term investment strategy, whether you’re aiming for cash flow, appreciation, or a combination, so that each decision aligns with your bigger goals.

Our end goal is to be in a position where we can be very selective and choose the clients and properties we work with so that doesn't happen.

Your goals change.

Once you're ready, create a goal (e.g., "I will buy at least one single-family home, duplex, triplex, or fourplex before the end of 2019") and then do it.

My goal of refinancing was simply lowering our monthly spending to reallocate towards future investments.

Now I own a thriving property management business, run a real estate team helping other investors learn how to grow and scale their portfolios, I have my own modest investment portfolio and have two development projects going at the moment.
