I enjoy setting objectives, attempting to achieve them, and normally coming a cropper! I state that in a joking way however I truly do not mind not achieving all of my objectives since that is not what objectives are for. Objectives are to assist you do much better and go further than you would have gone without them. If I reach all of my objectives then that implies I made them too simple to achieve and I most likely stunted my development. Every year I make extremely aggressive objectives and I publish them openly to provide myself responsibility. I likewise alter my objective structure as I discover what has and has actually not worked well for my objectives.
My previous objectives and how I did
It is insane to think about just how much I have actually achieved throughout the years and I understand that setting objectives assisted me do a lot more than I ever believed possible. I own more than $22 million worth of property and have actually achieved a lot of my dreams. I still have a long method to go and I will keep this going as long as I can. Every year I compose this short article that reviews my previous objectives and my future objectives. You can see those other objective posts from previous years listed below:
Things have actually altered throughout the years as my service has actually altered and brand-new things have actually entered my life. I began a realty brokerage, began buying business property, composed lots of books, began brick-and-mortar services, and a lot more.
What were my objectives for 2022?
For 2022, I wished to alter things up a bit. I altered a lot of my objective structures and attempted some brand-new things which worked alright. I am going to alter these once again for 2023.
Total 36 rehabilitations
I have actually constantly had an objective to turn a particular quantity of homes each year. Nevertheless, this objective can not constantly reveal what is taking place in business. In 2015 we began redesigning multi-units which implies one flip may be the like 5 turns. We likewise have actually been purchasing more rental homes and rehabbing and leasing those homes can be extremely important also however require us to do less turns. In 2022 I am altering my objective to be about the variety of rehabilitations we do! I wish to finish 36 rehabilitations on turns or leasings and this is per system.
This was a challenging objective to track due to the fact that we had multiunit homes, business homes, and homes that we renovated. I believe we were ideal around 30 rehabilitations that we finished which was close to my objective. This was an intriguing objective however we still had rehabilitations that took method too long. I likewise didn’t offer as lots of homes as I normally do and I believe offering homes is an excellent objective to have (turns or leasings) because that assists keep money being available in to support brand-new buys and rehabilitations.
Here was among my crazier rehabilitations!
Include $45k a month in passive earnings
I have had some unusual objectives of including square video of leasings also. I like this objective and it is simple for me to determine however I likewise wind up with uninhabited square video which is unfavorable and not favorable. For this year, I am making a passive earnings objective that welcomes both the obtaining and supporting of leasings. This objective can likewise be achieved with refinances or beginning services that develop more capital like the alcohol shop or mini-mart.
This objective was likewise tough to track and I did not strike it by any ways. I did increase my capital by a fair bit however then reduced it sometimes with brand-new purchases that weren’t leased yet or required to be renovated. I finished a re-finance which assisted the capital also. I believe I included around $15,000 in capital general which is fantastic however not near to my objective. I might have likewise done a much better task focussing on this objective also. Some offers have capital right now and some do not!
Re-finance $2 countless financial obligation
I had an objective to re-finance $2 countless financial obligation in 2021 and I have that exact same objective this year also. After considering it, I might require to increase this objective because one re-finance I have in development will come close to $2 million! That re-finance must likewise conserve me about $8,000 a month due to the fact that it is settling high-interest short-term financial obligation with low-interest long-lasting financial obligation!
It took me a very long time to get that a person re-finance done however I did it! I did refrain from doing any other re-finance rates increasing a lot however I prepare to check out more in 2023. I do have personal cash loans that I require to change with bank loans or offer the homes at some time.
Make $500k in earnings from InvestFourMore
I had actually made objectives to have truly excellent months with my blog site, and online service: Investfourmore. I recognized the whole year is more crucial to concentrate on! I have actually made an objective to generate $500,000 in earnings and we have quite low overhead in this service. I am dealing with a brand-new business to assist me do this so look out for a couple of brand-new things coming out this year!
That brand-new business I dealt with had plenty of guarantees and brief on outcomes! Sadly, I lost some cash on them however that becomes part of business. That was a discouraging experience and triggered me to draw back from a few of the internet marketing for a while however I have actually not quit. I still succeed online with earnings and have some brand-new streams of earnings because Facebook and Instagram began paying content developers more. I believe I can strike this number ultimately however I am not there yet.
Include 200k social networks fans
I am keeping this objective the like well. We made some huge development with YouTube in 2015 however had some unfavorable development with Instagram when my account was handicapped and I believed may be opted for excellent! Fortunately I got it back, however getting brand-new fans after that has actually been challenging!
You never ever understand what will occur with social networks! My Instagram continues to be uninspired however TikTok is succeeding and my YouTube chased the squatter expulsions and insane post-occupancy home. I included more than 60k follows on Facebook in one year and much of that was thanks to anti-landlord individuals who comment all the time and assist my engagement! I did not get to 200k however I believe I included near to 100k fans and I prepare to up that once again.
Here is the squatter expulsion video that did so well!
Include $3 million worth of financial obligation
I took this objective from Facebook when I saw another financier ask individuals just how much financial obligation they wished to include this year. I enjoyed this objective instantly! I am a substantial fan of utilizing excellent financial obligation to develop wealth. If I am including financial obligation it implies I am purchasing more homes that will make me more cash!
I came extremely near to this objective! With the re-finance and a number of big purchases consisting of the 13k square foot commercial residential or commercial property and the alcohol shop and mini-mart I most likely increased my financial obligation by more than $3 million however then I offered a couple of homes also which decreased it some.
Money versus loans on property.
Purchase a Lamborghini Countach
I am duplicating this objective once again and I might need to duplicate it for a couple of years however I will attain it ultimately! I have actually gotten more major about searching for an automobile and connected to a couple of individuals in the market who might understand of something that is not technically for sale however might in fact be for sale! I obviously will keep everybody upgraded on this objective!
This was one that I make a great deal of years and one year I understand it will take place. Well, 2022 was the year it occurred! I might not think I had the ability to get it done however there was a terrific vehicle that showed up for sale at a good rate (for a Countach). It took a while to get it all exercised however the vehicle remains in my garage and current auction sales have actually encouraged me it was the ideal relocation at the time. I understood if I did not purchase one quickly I might never ever have the ability to get one so it was cool to pull that off.
My objectives for 2023
For 2023 I am changing things up with some various objectives to see what I like best! Here they are!
Offer 20 homes
I normally make an objective to turn a particular quantity of houses which implies I offer a flip I felt the requirement to bring an objective like that back because I require to be offering homes relatively rapidly to keep my service design sustainable because I am purchasing brand-new ones and investing a lot on repair work. I did not offer as lots of homes in 2022 as I normally do. These might be leasings or turns that I offer in 2023. I have actually offered leasings in the past that were not the very best carrying out which is my strategy now also. I have had some homes that I had huge prepare for however those strategies failed for different factors. I require to offer those and carry on to other homes while keeping the excellent ones.
Buy 12 Flips
I believe we just purchased 6 turns in 2022! That was the least variety of turns I have actually purchased in several years however that number is likewise a little tricking. A few of the turns I purchased were multiunit homes that will take more work than a regular flip and a few of the homes that I thought about to be rental residential or commercial property purchases in 2022 might wind up being long-lasting turns too. I have a couple of duplexes and triplexes that I was thinking about keeping or offering and I believe I might offer them after repairing them up a bit.
I wish to increase the variety of turns we purchase since that part of business is enjoyable for me and Nikki, my job supervisor. I believe we might discover more this year with a more regular market. The real estate market in 2022 was ridiculous with lots of ups and downs however couple of offers to be had!
Purchase $2,000,000 worth of rental homes
I have actually had objectives to purchase a particular quantity of leasings (my objective to purchase 100 leasings) and to purchase a particular quantity of square video of leasings (my objective to purchase 1 million square feet of leasings) however this year I am altering it to a dollar quantity. I liked both objectives however they both had problems. The 100 residential or commercial property objective was for homes I began purchasing big business homes. The 1 million square feet of leasings objective was cool however then I purchased some insane huge homes that were primarily cash pits. We will see how this objective goes.
Re-finance $2 million worth of financial obligation
This is one objective that I have actually been achieving and makes a substantial distinction in my financial resources. By re-financing personal cash into bank cash, I maximize those personal cash lending institutions to provide me more personal cash and decrease my interest payments while securing loans for the long term. I have some brand-new lending institutions to attempt this year and I can connect to my old ones also on a couple of homes.
Make $500k in earnings from Investfourmore
I have this exact same objective once again! I have some brand-new things to attempt and I might truly concentrate on that service this year myself also. I believe there is a great deal of chance there that I have actually not been totally using. I would enjoy to have individuals in my workplace who deal with this service.
Include 250k social networks fans
I believe this objective is diable and at the exact same time challenging also. The challenging part with social networks is you never ever understand what will succeed or how your account will do. Some things I believe will never ever succeed wind up being remarkable and some that I believe are remarkable do terrible! Among the sub-goals in this is to strike $100k customers on YouTube. I have 90k now and acquired 10k in the last 2 months however without insane expulsions, YouTube stops pressing my channel as much which insane run is over in the meantime. Ideally, I can get more consistent and constant development without insaneness.
Raise Profits at my shop from $65k to $95k each month
I purchased an alcohol shop and mini-market in 2022 which was an objective of mine for a while. I have actually constantly desired a brick-and-mortar shop for some factor. I got my dream and it has actually been enjoyable however likewise challenging. The shop generates income even after paying lease to myself who owns the structure also. While it generates income, I believe it can do a lot better! One huge modification is we can serve more food alternatives because I simply upped our food license to a grocery with deli which permits us to prepare some foods. We will see how that goes!
Conclusion

It took me a while to compose this short article this year however I had actually made my objectives and was monitoring them and working towards them prior to drawing up the complete short article on them.
