I think some folks are referring to "gentrification" and "stimulate the economy so we don't have to bulldoze blighted houses every day," in the same context.

The massagers help stimulate circulation which can help relax the muscle tissue and reduce inflammation.

(There's also appreciation to be realized once they're recovered)Truly a stimulating conversation!

one got section 179 treatment day one when you bought something brand new... caveot  it was your trade and business and since I am 100% real estate I qualified.. passive investors did not.. worked pretty well to stimulate MS and LA economies back then.. most car dealers used it to build brand new dealerships in Jackson MS... doctors built themselves their own offices  it was a huge boon..

I was just in Tokyo this past winter and can confidently say you might enjoy the break from the crowds and stimulations of Tokyo for SF.

@Pavel Ushakov and @Brad Schaeppi you two should connect if you haven't already.Sorry for the long post, just  got back from vacation so looking for more RE stimulation.

@Andy GrabisThere was a recent discussion on this topic you might want to read.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/519/topics/56...If that doesn't answer your question(s) - or stimulates additional questions - then fire away!

We've filed an application for part of the "green stimulous" package.

The contractor is in charge of things like getting materials within 500 miles of the project, % recycled content of the materials, etc.Overall, buildings going for certification typically run alot more expensive due to all the paperwork, control / supervision, consultants, and increased cost of materials.Was told by a LEED AP, "These are high perormance buildings that both help the environment as well as stimulate local economy"All new government buildings are designed to be LEEDs certified but see why a private developer would go for it other than to use it as a marketing tool to their potential inhabitants.

As the economy gets soft and real estate prices fall, the Fed cuts interest rates to stimulate the economy.
