Setting great goals is hard. Achieving them is even harder. 

How many times have you made a New Year’s resolution (aka goal) and abandoned it by February?

Maybe you intended to do one of the following:

• Lose 30 pounds
• Start eating healthy
• Spend more time with family
• Buy your first investment property

But all too often I see newbie—heck, even seasoned!—investors set less-than-stellar real estate investing goals. 

They might be something like:

• My goal is to buy 10 homes this year (meh…)
• My goal is to buy 10 $100-$150K homes this year (better!)
• My goal is to buy 10 $100-$150K homes in Kansas City / Indianapolis / Birmingham that each yield $200/monthly in cash flow after all expenses (good… but still lacking)

I’ll tell you a secret. If you’re failing to achieve your goals, it’s probably because you didn’t set the goal correctly in the first place.
