Setting and Achieving Goals for your Real Estate Investments

By
Commercial Real Estate Agent with Executive Realty Group

A few things to consider when investing in real estate.  This  has been said over andgoal setting over again. And, if your like most people your probably tired of hearing the same thing from everyone. At this point you just want to get started buying apartment buildings. Unfortunately, there is a reason that people, myself included, keep stressing the need for setting goals for your real estate investment business. You noticed I called it a business.

Let me ask you this, have you ever really achieved great things without a plan?  I mean think about it; did you lose those ten pounds; run that marathon; hit that sales quota without a plan?  Real estate investing in Chicago is no different.  Start backwards... yes I said backwards. Where do you want to be in 5 years, 10 years, 15 years?  Envision your life there, retired on a beach. (had to throw that one in... that’s mine) and plan forward. It may seem like a lifetime away but it could be here sooner than you think.   Start your plan and set your goals today!! What are you waiting for? If your ready to get started give me a call, I love this stuff.

You are so right Kim, without a plan your just running in-place.  Chicago real estate investors would be wise to call you.

Hi Kim!   There is so much to consider when thinking of buying investment properties:  capitalization rate, management system, short and long range maintenance planning, tax planning, city ordinance familiarization, estate planning, and exit strategy to ENJOY THAT SAND BETWEEN YOUR TOES!

REMEMBER, ROME WASN'T BURNED IN A NIGHT!   ^_~
