I'm having a hard time figuring how 1% is even attainable, much less 2%.

You would have set a goal, made sacrifices to attain it, and you would have to have stuck with the dream for a while.  

As investor in buy side we also don't want people to lose money or having unnecessary higher risk in their purchase.I would pay cash if it's special property like there's gold beneath it and/or STR in Phuket where mortgage is not attainable, but for just hundred bucks cash flow out of midwest LTR, why I shall sacrifice one hundred k ?

Hello, this can definitely be attained in the Kansas City Metro Area.

But they don't have any kind of focus or effort to attain an "above average lifestyle STRICTLY based upon real estate investment earnings". 

That being said, with the right guidance from a team of experts, I believe that it is something that is attainable. 

Under Section 43-40-8(c) of the Georgia Code, a person can be a licensed Broker if they “(1) have attained the age of 21 years; (2) are a resident of the state of Georgia; (3) are a high school graduate or the holder of an equivalency; and have complied fully with the requirements of subsection (b) of Code Section 43-40-15 regarding any criminal convictions; (4) have maintained a license in active status for at least three of the five years immediately preceding the filing of an application to become a broker; (5) furnish evidence of completion of 60 instructional hours in a broker’s course of study approved by the commission; and (6) stand and pass a real estate examination administered by or approved by the commission covering generally the matters confronting real estate brokers after completing the requirements of paragraph (5) of this subsection and after maintaining a license in active status for at least three of the five years immediately preceding such examination.”[12]#6: What is the intended purpose of the Georgia laws regarding Brokers?

You can get an idea of what is attainable here https://www.biggerpockets.com/...Again, welcome and ask any questions you or your wife may have.

Sure, anything is possible, but more dreams are killed by this 10x thinking than are fulfilled Starting with residential real estate, especially house hacking of some sort, is completely attainable by literally anyone with minimal means and eduacation.

(which tbh really isn’t attainable in the current environment) All the smart investors I’ve spoken to are either halting buying and/or just accepting negative cash flow because they plan to be very long term holders of the asset they are buying.
