Presently I work full time at Wal-Mart as a Maintenance Supervisor and wish to be able to earn a self sustaining income through real estate so that I can retire my 9 to 5 job, be my own boss and have time to travel with my wife and enjoy life.                            

I mean after 2.2% is exactly what Walmart is paying in dividends right now. 

There is a charge per transaction.  2-3 day period.There is also a Walmart option, however I don't know too much about that.

I welcome my tenants with a Walmart bag full of goodies on the counter to greet them usually consisting of ; a pack of Newport’s ,a bottle of mad dog ,some mouse traps ,flea and roach spray also a book entitled “how to pay your rent on time “

I furnish my STRs from estate auctions and WalMart

You can make more money working at Walmart.

You should still consult with a tax CPA (not the H&R or Walmart tax people).

And it's two or three times as much as you'd get from the dividends of a Walmart stock.The 1031 exchange works best with leverage of some sort. 

Yes I know Amazon, Walmart,  HomeDepot and Ikea.

Go to Walmart and pay $2.00 for a white windshied marker, you know those markers that people use to put "Just Married" or "Just Graduated" on their cars, and write "I BUY HOUSES CASH" and your phone number on the back and two back side windows.
