This is get you close to 50 years old.There will be a learning curve to achieve maximum efficiency.

I've followed BP for a while now but I have finally started taking steps toward achieving my goals. 10 years ago I wish I had entered the industry, rather than going back to school for my degree in education.

I was interested in this topic as well, hopefully we can gain some insight to this.I'm wondering if you're able to achieve anything that would cash-flow as oppose to an appreciation/break even cottage play considering the short length of the rental season. 

It would likely take $2,000,000 in resources in today's markets to achieve your bigger goal.  

Hello all,I'm seeking advice on achieving a higher ROI in real estate investments beyond the 1% rule and maintaining around 35% of monthly operational expenses (including Cap-ex, maintenance, property tax, and vacancy).To the best of my knowledge and abilities, the 1% rule with 35% operational expenses seems to be the best I can achieve today.

Also, have visualized in achieving financial freedom through real estate is possible.

My recommendation would be to actually manage the property for a year or two so you know first hand what it takes to manage a property.  

Are they really able to achieve the projections or will they likely fall short?

The experience reinforced the value of thorough market analysis and strategic decision-making in achieving successful outcomes.

Well, okay a bit of an exaggeration, but they are distinctly different skill sets.The problem is you believe you've already achieved and I'm not sure you could tolerate someone else being the brain of the operation.
