I'm a relative newbie investor with two homes currently and the cash in hand to acquire one, likely a duplex.A lot of the webinars talk about ... what's your why, what's your goal?

The goal is to just buy one deal every 12-18 months to brrrr. 

@Peter Knox what are your goals. 

One of the main reasons why I want to do real estate is because after losing my job last because to a merger, I wanted to have another way to provide for my family and to reach financial independence one day.My goal is to become a buy and hold investor, buying duplexes and multi-families in my area and possibly out of state. 

Is the goal to separately meter everyone? 

You can use this loan as a stepping stone to buy as many as you can with the goals of refinancing to better rates within a few years from there?

If the long range goal is to hand it down  and there are multiple heirs.. maybe his vision is giving a property or two to each of them.

Our goal is to build passive Income through SFH's first and then move onto MFH's.

My goals are to pay this thing off as quickly as possible, while looking for more like it.  

Eventually I set a lofty goal for myself to try and obtain 3 cash flowing properties by the end of 2018.
