I find it stimulating.

My business gets to claim an additional $12,000 of expenses but I don't need to claim it personally as it is only for 12 days out of the year.I am not giving tax or legal advice just stimulating your thought process and sharing what I have done!

GREAT EVENTS - Conferences, workshops, and celebrations stimulate you to engage with your environment and learn from it.

The process of buying, holding, improving and selling investments is a process that stimulates the economy. 

Raising the rent to market value is likely going to stimulate some people to move out, so that alone may "kill 3 birds with one stone"...low rent....smokers....pets.

@Stephen Loguidice is right, there are more jobs coming to the area thanks to the Vassar hospital expansion so hopefully that would bring better quality tenants, stimulate the economy there and increase property value.

You'd have to get a lot of people to repeat this not necessarily beneficial behavior to stimulate a "recovery".

Camaraderie, support, encouragement, partnerships, and stimulating discussions, would be incredible.

I am in wholesaling, rent to own and other creative forms of financing because it suits my personality (highly competitive and in need of constant stimulation).I believe, however that buy and hold investing is far and away the best and most reliable method of building wealth compared to wholesaling and flipping.

These differences are what seem to be stimulating the economy on all different levels but doesn't necessarily mean a crash is imminent.
