On that note, I've been wondering what about the "non-W2" earners. 

Do you see an influx in wage earnings?

We can keep all the asset prices high for the rich guys and inflate away their debt while the middle class can see all of their savings get inflated away along with the purchasing power of their wages.  

Unless you're a very high earner, I'd aim to save not 20%, but 50-75% of your income to dedicate towards RE.

Dayton's tech industry has seen 29% grown in the last 5 years, and wages are up 9 percent. 

The subsequent 7 years gave me the income I needed to invest properly in real estate.So here is my advice to you:You can skip college, grind out some (MANY) years working for low-wage but high knowledge (working to learn, not earn) and then parlay that hopefully into a business that'll earn you enough to really invest in real estate.ORYou can take the free ride for 4 years, work and save money at the same time, and get a degree in something that'll mean something to your future (Accounting and Business management would be great fields) then get out and jump right into a job that'll pay you enough to properly invest.Remember, investing -in a financial sense- by definition is the use of MONEY to make money.

And because government does what governments do  over regulate and try to protect everything from the darter snail to families that are below median wage.. something has to give.. 

This is what we currently know about Biden's tax plan as it relates to the real estate industry:According to Biden's campaign officials and his campaign website, he envisions what his campaign officials call a new "caring economy" in which entitlement spending will be increased approximately $775 billion over 10 years.Per Biden's official campaign website: The plan will cost $775 billion over 10 years and will be paid for by rolling back unproductive and unequal tax breaks for real estate investors with incomes over $400,000 and taking steps to increase tax compliance for high-income earners. 

So I grow grass for a living lol, I enjoy my job but with how many hours I put in and how many hours I see my boss put in and the wages we earn it’s be very difficult to become financially free off of just saving.

And then wage garnishment.
