Not emotional goals like becoming financially independent, or quitting the Rat Race. 

That's the end goal with Madison, for example.  

I've considered places like Florida (Orlando, Tampa), North Carolina (Raleigh, Charlotte), Ohio (Columbus, Cincinatti), Kentucky (Louisville).Have also considered places in Central California like Fresno, Bakersfield, etc My goal is to just rent it out on the private market and make some extra cash flow. 

I would love to connect with you and share ideas and goals.  

My advice is to set a goal and stick to it.

Fast forward through some vital life experience, I’m back on BP with a desire to jump back into my goal of having a cash-flowing rental portfolio that can help support me.

Fear has been my biggest set back in keeping me from my goal of Real Estate Investing, but I no longer have that fear and I'm betting on me from now own. 

I'm looking forward to connecting with you and learning about your real estate goals for the rest of the year. - Alfonso 

Is cash flow the number 1 goal?

I don't do it to make payroll or because someone wants to hit a certain net worth number goal at all costs.
