I own a few rentals now, but this would really stimulate my rentals and I would put in a admin and a maintenance guy. 

Think of the foreclosure as an action stimulant that triggers the owner to take some sort of action to remedy the situation.

They have stimulated the economy and made lending cheaper for those can are in a position to utilize it.

I think they are cutting rates to stimulate the borrowing to fuel the economy further (keeping campaign promises--more jobs, more personal spendable income, etc...) vs. to keep it from sliding backwards.

Account Closed  the other issue here is Portlandia has all this high density no parking zoning along public transportation routes.. now a lot of it has been built since the crash.. but little will be built now and there ya go grand design to cram everyone into living with no cars is not going to work since developers are not going to build out these areas. its funny Porltandia lead the nation in getting things going when they gave the 10 year tax breaks in the Pearl and other areas of the city to stimulate growth and it did big time.now they are going backwardsMaybe Carls  container homes will be the answer  :)  container villages.

My first question is What are you doing in Real Estate as they are talking see if anything they say stimulates a followup question.  

Just playing devils advocate to those who say the market is artificially stimulated and many real estate buyers are foreign investors and hedge funds looking for yield.

It's stimulating to know that you just need to work hard and there is no such thing as a tough market.

This is intellectually stimulating.

The government printed money at an exorbitant rate in an attempt to stimulate the country's economy.
