The lack of flexibility was a real problem and is for many people who value a flexible lifestyle as many millennials increasing do. 2) They got burned by the crash and now view real estate as a bad investment.3) RE generally is a bad investment for many people who don't buy right in markets that are not zooming up and I know a number of ppl who think this way. 4) They are older and do not want to deal with a house. 

Also, different families have different lifestyles. 

Just putting out my feelers to see if anyone else is attending the 2-day seminar hosted by Lifestyles in Houston this Saturday and Sunday?

These people have chosen very different lifestyles, live in very different places, have very different priorities, have very different families, etc. 

They sell the "dream" lifestyle.

I guess it depends on their desired lifestyles.  

My goals are to invest in single family residential properties to rent out so I can increase my cash flow, suppliment my retirement and achieve a certain level of lifestyle to enjoy with my family.  

Your lifestyle changes much more from 0 to $1 million than from $1 million to $100 million.

You start to get an additional income from the newly acquired property and that shows in your lifestyle.

Kiyosaki says a couple times in the book that essentially as soon as your free cash flow from investments equals your monthly expenses, you're virtually free to quit your job and go full time, as your investments can sustain your lifestyle.
