Because of the way I am at work (I pushed myself perhaps too hard), I'm going to talk to my doctor Monday and see if I can get some extra time off from work to let my leg (and the muscles) heal more from surgery.

Just follow the fed, when they are cutting and stimulating there is a floor on assets, when they are trying to break things be liquid.  

I MUST achieve financial freedom to spend as much quality time with my only remaining child (15 yr old son) and travel as often as possible to aide in my healing process.

The scenario I described above is meant to do some digging (not an exhaustive or major time consuming process) to locate all the owners of the apartments in our target market and then automate a contact campaign to see if we can stimulate an off market deal (emails, cards, letters, phone calls) and to create more of a working network within that target market.  

@Jay S. who knows, it's possible that HomePath loans have had poor performance (delinquencies) due to the looser guidelines, or FNMA is no longer in as big a hurry to liquidate their REO (could be political pressure to tighten inventory and help prices continue to rise, creating a wealth effect to help stimulate the economy).

Everything else stimulates the local econony.

Injuries heal(ish), belongings can be repurchased, and I ended up living in that house for another 5 years and putting a lot of time into updating it before selling it for 135k in 2015. 

There is a letter that was sent to the campaign which refers to an analysis:Letter: https://www.1031taxreform.com/fea-sends-letter-to-biden-campaign-regarding-the-importance-of-like-kind-exchanges-in-stimulating-the-economy/Analysis: https://www.taxpolicycenter.org/model-estimates/former-vice-president-bidens-tax-plan-march-2020/t20-0074-former-vice-presidentThe analysis makes mention of "certain tax preferences for the real estate industry," which one can assume is 1031 exchanges, but might also be depreciation, TPR, changes to passive income treatment, etc., but cites no sources.   

We also offer a limited listing for $500 for 6 months to our sophisticated sellers, but that's largely just a way to try to help stimulate more inventory to market and hopefully a way to get the jump on properties for our buyer clients. 

This is done to mitigate a down economy, to stimulate.
