Prices have come down appreciable to stimulate this section of the market.

@Brian Gibbons- First off, thank you for presenting your question in a manner that stimulates conversation. 

The ones who pay property taxes and hire local workers and stimulate the local economy.Tand the South Bay that don't make it difficult to provide housing.This sort of tenant relocation out of the pockets of small business owners (housing providers) will affect the entire market and Long Beach economy... mainly negatively.https://www.lbbusinessjournal.com/rental-properties-city-council-to-consider-tenant-protection-policies/

Having a diverse portfolio stimulates internal organic growth while opening opportunities for other partners broadening their network and possibilities.

(Side note Kiyosaki says this is why he won't invest in Canada).A big driver of pricing is from foreign investment (eg Asia) especially the west coast (Vancouver, Calgary).Real estate is a huge part of our economy so the government is very protective and puts laws in place to curtail or stimulate the market.

doesn't really stimulate the correlation.Something more illuminating might be "In your city, what percentage of the population (or more specifically, home buyers) are imports and how has that affected your market?"

When you can no longer lower rates, the only option left is to print ridiculous amounts of money to stimulate the economy.

Financial actions into business can be made contingent upon STIMULATING actions, those that present economic benefit, such as a tax credit for job creations, or R&D which R&D requires researchers, and so on down the chain.

Ok, well when/if rates drop it's to STIMULATE the economy, so your gonna have to compete against all the other people being stimulated to also act.

Now the fed has continued to lower interest rates in an attempt to stimulate spending thus allowing people to afford larger mortgages without actually having more buying power or cash on hand.
