I would ask you what your next goal for the next year?

My goal is financial independence in 10 years via building my business into a large practice while investing in buy and hold rental properties.I know I basically need to knock out the debt, and save up for my first down payment. 

I almost pulled the trigger on a 1BR apt in Lincoln Park for $229K but it was just outside of my spending capacity, I would have become house poor and my goal is to buy investment properties in the near future.

Each investor will look at each metric differently and give different weights to those metrics based on their personal financial goals and what they want to see out of the properties they are investing in. 

Real Estate GoalsEveryday I feel the time slipping away with my kids.Our goal is to obtain $5k/ month in cash flow in 5 years through rentals in single families, multi-families and apartment buildings in the Cincinnati area. 

My ultimate goal is to take over the property free of tenants so I can renovate one side and rent it as quick as possible and then move on to the other side.

My goal is to get my first property no later than end of Q1 2018.For my immediate next steps I am 1) starting to write out clear goals on what I want to achieve and break it down into smaller steps.  2) I will be joining the Richmond REIA starting in January (December meeting is Christmas party and I'll be away). 3) Continued meetings with people in my current network that are involved in Real Estate Investing - Found out about a few by chance and have reached out. 

In order to help you figure out what companies to look at, you would need to share some of your goals for your business.

I'm wondering if there are other BP'ers willing to take a look at one of my deals to see if there is something I'm missing in the analysis or if there are assumptions within my deals that I'm underestimating.Here is the link to the deal - https://www.biggerpockets.com/calculators/shared/916449/7da6c614-e8cc-41b9-9e15-965565b159baAbout the assumptions:This is the Charlotte NC areaPurchase price shown is the current asking priceProperty taxes are from the assessor's office and the monthly income is the average for 2 beds in Charlotte.My goal for deals is cash flow.Any and all thoughts/suggestions are welcome!
