[Hamel Duplan]

1. In 2026, my goal is to close on a single house that I am working on and to acquire at least one tax lien/deed.

2. My business goal is for my assets to be self-sufficient.

3. I will close on the property using my personal name; I might use my VA loan to acquire a property, and participate in tax lien/deed auctions.

4. I will need to work my 9-5 harder to have my personal finances in order; save money for investments; perform at minimum, one monthly meeting for evaluations of goals
