I work part-time for a real estate company (Nomadic Real Estate) as a leasing agent and I just passed my VA salesperson exam so I hope to sell real estate in Virginia within the next couple of weeks.Within the next 4 years, I would like to generate enough passive income so that I can save for my future family.The ultimate goal is to generate enough money to be able to start and sustain a social entrepreneurship business to help schools in West Africa.On Bigger Pockets, it would be great if I could network with like-minded individuals.Francis

I don't think it was noted anywhere.Depending on the type, size, and your investment objectives, you could probably eliminate a lot of markets without doing much work.This is his goal,  "I'm not planning on using it to select a market in particular, but to value properties and see if potential properties are over or accurately valued in their asking price."

I'm curious what other people set as initial goals and strategies.Brian Dps: I'm going at this full time.

I am also a very novice options trader, and barely making any money with that... but I understand that is long term project that will feed me and my family plenty in the future; just like real state investing.My goal here is to meet like minded people.... and I know there are plenty, but they don't know who I am, why I want get into this business.

I am a local realtor and would enjoy the opportunity to further discuss more of what your looking for and see how I can help you reach your goals.

Still buying rentals, but only if they are super duper deals b/c we have met our goal for # of units and are working on paying them off now.

What is the end goal?

My goals are to learn all aspects of the Real Estate business, but ultimately want to Buy and Hold to live off the passive income.

Hi there,My name is Jeremy, I am 41 and new to real estate investing.My wife and I are entrepreneurs and at this point one of us could easily free up enough time to become a real estate professional and take on our goal of building a large portfolio - for the purpose of long term investing but also the tax benefits (for now) associated with depreciation.We have very little experience.

From the eyes of a GC 2 weeks isn't long enough unless you guys specifically had an agreement to pay faster than that.
