Some fundamentals for San Diego job growth and wage growth look as solid as they come.

Its possible as a trade person to break the six figure mark in the lower mainland if you have the credentials, I just started working in the GVA after coming out of Fort Mac for 7 years and have found the wages similar to Fort Mac although not every position has the over time obviously. 

That historically hasn't been the case.In any case, I don't see that trend continuing forever because how is it possible for wages in Australia to keep up with those prices?

Private Lending could be another option here but generally requires a degree of experience with what you're lending on.The reason I say all this is I meet a lot of busy higher income earners with W-2's (often who like their day jobs) and sometimes the least amount of risk and headache is going passive with others who have experience.

Even then the policy changes for captital gains taxation increases looks to only affect inheritance step up basis and income earners of a million/yr.

Lot of other factors, but dont leave your day job until you have half of your wages covered.If your a hard core entrepreneur.  

Usually they are going to be high wage earners and have good credit.

I agree that home prices will continue to rise due to supply issues, but taxes and insurance are going to take a toll on a lot of the homeowners who haven't seen their wages increase with the home inflation we are experiencing. 

Details I didn't think were necessary to get my very specific question answered.The goal is to get myself to a place where I can purchase my second property on my own without having to work a ****** minimum wage job and also gain experience. 

Ideally LL gets wage garnishment to start to get paid what he is owed but he is unlikely to ever collect the full amount owed.
