Quote from @Susan McBride: What are you trying to achieve? 

It is November 25th and there is only about 35 days left in the year with a lot of professionals who take off the last week of the year.Given that information, you will likely need to buy a poperty with a quick close to achieve what you are looking to do.

Also, achieving the 2 percent rule in my local market is near impossible but could be achievable elsewhere.Thoughts?

@David HudgikBuilding passive income through real estate can be achieved through various investment strategies.

How quickly do you think you can achieve it?

Our goal is to start and grow our portfolio to achieve financial stability, more family time, the freedom to take vacations, and the ability to live life on our terms.

The goal is to achieve and maintain financial freedom.

I purchased $4m Dec of 2021 and have one unit left to rehab (starting it Dec 1 and my 22 year old son will be running his 2nd rehab - it will be a live-in rehab so slower than we usually achieve).  

We are also noticing that market rent can be achieved and some cases even higher than market rent. 

Long term, I aim to achieve financial freedom and transition into real estate full-time.
