My goal is to sell a Dayton 3/1.5 SF home before tenants to move in on April 1.

Also, you may want to seek our private lenders and/or hard money lenders depending on your end goal and needs.

Towards end of 2016, I set a goal for 2017 to save $50K for real estate investing so I took a part time job + selling on ebay... really worked hard, but only reached half my goal because of my other financial responsibilities.

I’m new to real estate investing and have made a goal to earn enough passive income to allow my wife to stay at home with me (if she so desires).

At first, our goal was to sell the home and use that to fund another down-payment in San Diego. 

I just recently found this site a few weeks ago and have really enjoyed the great info BP provides and community of like-minded individuals helping each other reach their financial goals.  

Great educational resource here, however, your best learning will come from experience.What are your RE goals?

I love your plan and your goals.

My goal in real estate is to provide a second stream of income from cash flow via a buy and hold strategy with single family and multi-family rental properties.

Once you discover your passion, then your goals become clear and those goals define your investing criteria.
