Lowering rates, printing more money, and today even a rumor of additional tax cuts by cutting payroll taxes to avoid a potential recession.  

However, we need to limit this to only first-hand experience as we do not want to destroy a deal or a person on rumors. 

@Jaron Walling rumor has it the strikes have been resolved.

One day find out that her son was arrested on drug charges, and several weeks later I hear rumors from other tenants about her daughter being in trouble with the law.

It is rumored that people are walking away from deposits, but I don't really trust what the news reports, so I'd be curious if anyone has actually seen it.http://boingboing.net/2017/01/28/chinas-capital-controls-are.html

H Account Closed I think it may be more rumor than reality.

I wouldn't base a real estate strategy on rumors.

I've heard rumors of Dallas possibly putting in some rules to shut down STRs (kinda like Denver).

I heard a rumor from one of the tenants that they might be interested in selling so I drove over and found their offices and went in and inquired.
