My goal is to get my financial freedom and get 5k a month in passive income as one of my initial goals for real estate. 

My goal is to buy and hold it for long haul, hopefully by starting with one rental property and expanding to two and so on.

While I am still learning, I plan on attending local REI meet ups in the South Florida region so I can get to know like minded individuals who share the same goals in real estate investing.  

Hi all,My long-term goal is to purchase a rental property in Mexico, Dominican Republic, or somewhere similar.

It depends on her goals and facts and circumstances.

Now that I'm older and wiser; What is a realistic goal in terms of how many deals should i shoot for in one year?

Our professions are not related to real state or construction, and I never had to constitute any kind of company in the USA (did back in Spain, but laws have nothing similar).After much reading, the only two things I'm starting to get clear are: that buying and selling within a year has very different tax implications than living in your home for a few years then selling it, and that I should find at least a good CPA and possibly a good lawyer specialized in real state to figure out how to structure this to minimize taxes and liabilities.At the end of the day, my goal remains the same that I want to end up with a couple of investment properties, don't necessarily need to base my retirement on that, but just to not have all my eggs in the same basket.

My goal is to merge the trust properties and our 'flipping' into one.

It depends on your goals but I would spend it on people and marketing.

Spend some time defining your goals and what size and shape the multiplex is going to be.
