When (not if) we enter a recession and housing slows down, they will stimulate with lower rates.

I don't know whether that's the case or not but it is a perception that is stimulating action.

Several common ones that I hear often are the population growth metric (see if there is a positive/negative trend in folks moving in/out of the area), strong economic drivers (large companies in the area that draw folks to surrounding areas), and path of progress (the town/city’s actual plans to stimulate growth and the things/areas they are focusing on improving)!

You are like a one person housing development agency, renewing homes and providing quality housing (not any easy task).If someone is just doing a surface flip (just cosmetic shine and not so much substance), I am not sure you help any one (save stimulating the economy some for cost of the floors, counters, and paint).

Typical recessions last 18-24 months, so the odds are within a 5 year time rates will drop again in order to help stimulate the economy.

In general make sure that you think about the returns of your LPs first and yours second and you'll have a long and prosperous career. 

I very much appreciate your time and hope this stimulates some discussion.Thanks,Franky

I’m posting the link here to stimulate some conversation if anyone is interested.

@Rob McDonald, most syndicators started out as LPs or invest as LPs as well as are GPs in their own deals. 

There is no telling what the blue states will do if there was a real recession (and/or no ability to stimulate the economy through loose monetary policy because of inflation).
