I'm focusing on marketing systems for the rest of the year.

In September, sell the 3 properties coming up for sale, achieve 50% completion on the 4-unit, and be under contract to buy at least one more property.

I am actually in the same boat, so I can relate to you. I'm going to try and wholesale to start off with, especially with the way the market has gone, so I will currently be adding to my list of buyers and finding neighborhoods to go and look for appropriate properties. Also, I want to try and attend my first Real Estate Investors Club meeting. I still have a few butterflies, so I'm trying to get over that and jump into it in order to start picking apart the brains of other investors I meet.

You have all made good TO DO lists, but IMHO you have not set goals.

Setting a goal is not quite so simple. Goals are measurable, specific, and have a timeline.

To become rich is not a goal. It is a dream. How do you measure "rich", how long will it take to get rich?

To have a net worth of $1 million by the end of 2015 is a goal. It is specific, measurable, and has a definite timeline.

Buying a course, buying a property, taking a class, and joining a club are examples of action steps that may lead to achieving a goal. We just don't know what that goal is.

Now, what is your goal?
