So I thought I would present this question here with hopes of stimulating some healthy discussion and understanding.

Some info to consider;Moodys predicted a banner 2015.Many markets are still under their all time peaks almost 10 years later.There are trillions more dollars in existance today than in the past run ups.The buyers are more qualified today than in the past run ups.The demand for multis exceeds the supply to buy and rent.We are nearing full employment which usually indicates wage increases on the horizon.The demand for multis is forecasted to increase in 2016 and 2017.Lower energy costs can stimulate growth.It is Ben's 40th and he is looking to party like it's 1999!

I do know that every time we cut taxes or put money back in the hands of the consumer rather than with the goverment, we see consumer spending increase and hiring goes up thus stimulating the overall economy.Now if we can just get more suppliers of fuel and gas since they all merged and are now setting prices!

Unfortunately, current market conditions are the result of false stimulation of the economy through lowering rates.

We need you bright and bold thinkers with analytical skills and genius out there making money and helping stimulate the economy by providing jobs for others in real estate and construction industries.

LPs make sense in the right situation, of course.

I think investing in Real Estate is emotionally activating and mentally stimulating and I'm learning it now so I'll have something to do when I retire and it'll give me and the boys something to talk about!

- Real Estate is much more mentally stimulating than paying off debt, but that could be reframed if necessary- I'm concerned that if I pay off my CC debt that old habits will put me right back into it- I'm a Math guy, so it feels difficult to justify paying off a loan at 5% than investing money at 15-20%.

The GP does the work and LPs invest the money.

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