[TMCG]

I know that a bunch of people posted about real estate success goals for 2007 were put out there in this and many other forums.  but i wanted repost about it.  

how will you measure success in real estate this year?  

i'd really like to hear from all the real estate investors on here.  i think hearing from everyone about their real estate investing success mission this year will give each of us a good idea of how far off we are!  lol

and for others, hearing someone talk about their success goals for 2007 will help each of us learn.  

so please please please - post on here about your real estate investing succes goals for 2007.  

be specific (as specifici as you can be without giving away any trade secrets   ).  i really want to get an idea of how grandiose some of the real estate investing success goals are.

I would say since this is my first year I will achieve success if I can actually make an offer on a property.  First, though, comes TONS of research!!! (It's fun for me... am I a dork?)  

"If you're not embarassed to submit your offer, then you've offered too much."

I plan on being rejected, but I also plan on not taking that personally, and moving on to the next possible deal without dwelling.  All I need is the one person out of 99 (hopefully less!) that says "Yes" and I'm in business.  I can't WAIT for my first deal!
