if you do it conservatively, 6% a year is about what you should expect , 10% is considered great.

The nominal compound return on the U.S. stock market has been 10%, or 7% after inflation.

Average market return exceeds compound return by around 2%.

Waiting for the market to crash to do the whole passive income etf thing, i have done the options and day trading thing. 

Not too successfully. The only thing that works is having strict profit losses and using leveraged etfs to trade indexs intraday. 

Everything else is poison. I've trade earnings, options (selling makes some money, but not much). 
I haven't done much fundamental analysis and do not know sector rotation. Stock picking seems weak. The only thing moving these markets are few high cap tech stocks. 
Lately bonds have been good.
