2022 Business and Personal Goals

2022 Business and Personal Goals

Happy New Year! To kick off every new year, I like to set goals for all aspects of my life, both personal and professional. By publicizing my goals, it helps me stay accountable for the things I set out to accomplish for the year. I also hope that some of my goals inspire you to set some for yourselves, too! Let’s get started.

My 2021 Year-End Review

At the start of 2021, I set out to accomplish some business and personal finance goals for the year.

Now that we’re at the end of 2021 (crazy how fast it went), I will do one final review of both my money & non-money goals and share how I did!

Doubling My $125K Investment to $250K in 1 Month

In today’s post, I talk about my original plan for the investment, the numbers behind it, and why it was so profitable.

How I Flipped an Out-of-State Home for Over $100K Profit In Less Than 4 Months

Earning a lot of money doesn’t mean you have to have a high-paying 9-to-5 job; it can come from a side hustle like my out-of-state flipping business! In fact, because my flipping business can be so lucrative and take just a few hours a week, I often wonder why I should even keep my 9-to-5. Well, I’ll save the answer to that thought for another day. Today, I will share my experience buying an off-market property and how I ultimately sold it for a massive profit!

How I Turned My 2nd Flip Into My 1st Airbnb

At the start of 2021, I set out to start an out-of-state flipping business and flip an average of 1 home per quarter (4 for 2021). By May, I had already purchased all 4 of my flips for the year. The 2nd home I purchased, however, didn’t get remodeled on schedule, nor did it attract a sale price I was happy with. So instead of waiting around hoping for a magic sale to happen, I decided to convert my 2nd flip into an Airbnb! In this post, I’ll talk about what went wrong with my 2nd out-of-state flip and the steps I took to convert this property into an Airbnb.

Also, while I didn’t share any of my non-money-related goals at the beginning of the year, I’ll do that today!

Takeaways From My 1st Out-of-State Flip

At the beginning of the year, I announced all my financial goals for 2021, one of which was to start an out-of-state flipping business. By the end of January, I had already closed on my very first flip in the Dallas metro area! If you follow me on Instagram, you would have learned that I’m already done with the rehab, roughly 2 months later. So now that my property is listed for sale and I’m starting to think about completing my very 1st out-of-state house flip, I thought I’d share my experience, from start to (almost) finish.
