Most of this is just useless but intellectually stimulating conversation because very few of us are going to do anything about it.

The Hypersupply phase can last anything from 2-4 years before a recession hits.With the onset of this disrupter - the response to the Corona virus -the Fed has pre-empted the actions normally taken during the Recession to try to stimulate the economy but the drivers for this recession are not economically based and so this again skews the normal cycles.The best lens to to try to assess risk is to stay focused on the dynamics of the normal market - prices for multi-family properties are driven by the demand from investors - the competition for the properties is driven by both the desire for the business ( availability of investors) and the cashflow the property can produce in the future - the cashflow is determined by the space market - ie the market for rental space- the rental space market is driven by the employment market largely.

Not to sound over stimulated but this is seriously freaking me out.

Basically, just get some general information and you can use them to stimulate discussion.

@Matthew Russell  You asked a great question and stimulated great debate.

This is purely about helping our small businesses stimulate the economy to a recovery. 

The reason they're so low is because the Federal Reserve is attempting to stimulate the economy, as the economy is weak (and Corona is not to blame - the economy has been pumped up for years).

President Trump signed an Executive Order extending Unemployment at $300 a week, protecting against evictions, and deferring student loan payments.And on a side note, he also suspended the (Federal) payroll tax for wage earners (California and other payroll taxing states will still grab their share of your paycheck if you live in those states, but for workers that should mean extra spendable "Mean Green" to stimulate the economy).

What one finds boring can be exciting and stimulating to another person.If your goal is to obtain a real estate license, then it is worth going through a course of study to reach that goal.
