BiggerPockets

My goals for december: Finish rehabbing a house I purchased last month and rent it out and also rent a house that just became vacant (after having to evict the tenant). So...have all of my properties fully rented.

Have the 5 homes currently under construction completed and fully rented. Oh, and to enjoy the last 2 weeks of the month in my Cancun condo. Anyone else interested in the best located Cancun condos available?? Have a great December.

My December goal is to continue doing research on investing and to join my local real estate investors association to begin my journey......Gotta start some time!

I think most everyone's goal here is to become a more successful real estate investor / professional, although specific short-term to long-term goals may vary.

The purpose of the monthly goal thread is mainly for accountability, and so people can get new ideas and start taking action.

With that being said... yes, yes... we all know goals should be SMART, yadda yadda. I think most of what people post is definitely Specific, Actionable, and Reasonable. We're Time-Constrained with the December guideline. And most of them have been Measureable. Personally, I see these monthly threads as "mini-milestone goal setting."

So, quit your complaining and share with us what you have planned!

The title said GOALS. Since noone posted goals, just to do lists, I wondered if anyone really had true goals. The question was valid in the context of the title, but certainly not a complaint.

I thought this thread could evolve into a constructive discussion of goal setting, how to develop an implementation plan to achieve those goals, and from that a set of specific actions to take and their milestones to get to the ultimate goal.

Clearly, I am too new to the forums to appreciate that the title is not really the intended purpose of the thread. Posting my to do list won't help anyone else and I certainly don't need to post my to do list to motivate myself.

My question clearly touched a nerve. I sincerely apologize.

Dave, we can argue in circles, but what would be the point? I feel that what people are posting are valid goals, and not just to do lists. Remarks like yours are disparaging, and they discourage people from participating in these threads.

If you had searched the forum, you would see that this is a monthly thread. As such, there's no need to rehash "ultimate goal" setting on a monthly basis. If this is a topic of interest to you, why don't you start your own thread on the subject? I'm sure other members would be happy to chime in.

As for me, this month will be one of finishing a certain development project, so it'll be ready to go on the market in January. In addition, we are developing our marketing plan and budget for next year.

Happy December!

My goal is to get this wholesaling business going and making some bucks.

My December goals are to join my local REI club and finish my first book on REI. Im excited about my future in Real Estate Investing!
