Winning $40 at NL $2 is 2000 big blinds, ~ 4000 hands.
Winning $75 at NL $5 is 1500 big blinds, ~ 5000 hands.
Winning $250 at NL $10 is 2500 big blinds, ~ 12,500 hands.
Winning $425 at NL $25 is 1700 big blinds, ~ 11,500 hands.
Winning $1200 at NL $50 is 2400 big blinds, ~ 20,000 hands.
Winning $3000 at NL $100 is 3000 big blinds, ~ 30,000 hands.
Winning $5000 at NL $200 is 2500 big blinds, ~ 31,000 hands.

That totals 114,000 hands. If you get 300 hands per hour due to 4-tabling, that is 380 hours of play.

You have to start with more money to make things a lot easier. Minimum should be 500$.

You have to add time for reviewing hands, table selection and so on.

I guess the winrates are resonable but not conservative.

With 500$ and fulltime playing 100 hours a month you can do it in 3-5 month.
