I also set savings goals to help fund my first deal and when I will be taking action on that deal. 

You may be surprised that they have similar goals to you and might be willing to go on the journey together.

Prices up your way have gone crazy I hope you are able to achieve your goal!

It is a slower process for me dealing with work, family, and debt, but I know I will continue to grow more each year and hopefully a lot faster with some partners.

The whole goal of this strategy is to use the same bucket of cash over and over. 

You have to weigh the upside and downside and compare that with your short term and long term goals.

And, while I am happy to help out, no amount of my advice is going to do you any good if you don't get your crap figured out first.By crap I mean your finances, your goals, your team and your strategy for real estate investing.

I want to help other entrepreneurs achieve their goals by helping in anyway.

It depends on your goal and time frame as whether it makes sense.

First start with what your goals are for the first house you want to buy.
