So, even as the Fed lowers the Federal Funds rate, and as we see the spread between the 10-year treasury yield and the 30 year mortgage rate shrink, upward pressure on the 10-year from longer-term foundational pressures will see mortgage rates tick up or or at least hold steady.While this is neutral/slightly negative news for home buyers, it is very bad news indeed for our friends in the commercial real estate world, who are really seeing the best case scenario for the 10-year right now.

While I agree with all your points (especially the unconstitutional eviction moratorium), selling means you will a) get hit with huge capital gains taxes (my friend just sold his 5-unit and got hit with $150,000 tax bill), b) there is no place to invest the proceeds (stock market is too risky, banks are risky and pay really low interest), and c) you are too young and if you change your mind and want to purchase more investment properties, interest rates and prices are too high.
