Let them know your strategy, your goals and what your business plan is to ensure that your business plan aligns with theirs and you can both work towards the same goal.

Quote from @Jeffrey Mair: Hello, I am seeking advice or creative ideas to move closer to the goal of owning a home in San Diego county without the obvious solution of selling off my small rental portfolio.

The answer is based on your goals.Short-term goals are tough. 

This coming year set the goal of getting more committed to learn and expand my knowledge to avoid previous mistakes taken as well as to be able to effectively continue to expand my portfolio.I’m here to connect with others who are also passionate about real estate, and I’m eager to learn from your experiences, insights, and advice.

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

We bought this property in York County, SC with the goal of turning it into a rental.

Any goals or resolutions anyone wants to share? 

They are a great financin goption if your goal is to continue to scale. 

The goal starting off is a place that my family enjoys visiting and renting the rest of the time. 

Even though your Realtor might be good and helpful their ultimate goal is to get the house sold and no one will see the vision you have set for yourself, in the same light that you will.
