On the other hand, too many so called investors shoot themselves in the foot by buying something that actually loses money so they can save on taxes.

I'm willing to share my brainstorming/ideas for what the letter should consist of, but if anyone can help me out it would be much appreciated.If you've got experience in writing letters for any of the 3 lists above, I'd appreciate it if you could PM me or shoot me an email to discuss, or just reply.Thanks!

We are shooting for an average of making 10k per assignment. 50 deals x 10k per = $500,000 gross earnings for 2011We are going high volume eventhough we are not a huge company.

It really doesn't matter otherwise.That said, I would shoot for something close to actual value.

I'll shoot you an email.

I don't borrow when purchasing vehicles, and the ones we own are worth a decent amount, but I leave them out of the equation.The only debt I have is on real estate and I have a minimum of 30% equity on each property I own.As far as net worth growth, I have a dollar number in mind that I shoot for annually.

I think I might shoot for 80% and see what I come up with.

Point to this is number of deals is the best qualifier in my book so the fact that some exagerate by double counting is relevant to talk about so that others are aware it happens.Perhaps BP members can be the deal counting police and shoot down those who try and count every transaction as a deal.Majority states deal = Paycheck or property held long-term as rental.

For investors, these numbers will give you a better idea of your financial performance.Many investors with maybe more experience shoot for 18 maybe 20% as a return on the investment.
