It'll take some time for the effects to trickle down.  I'd say six months to a year.  Economic policies take 6 months (on average) to have any effect on the economy.

I going to pay the transportation costs for locals who feel compelled to move to Canada. (qualification and conditions apply)  That should boost my 1st and 2nd quarter business.

Feds raising prime will push more liberal lending from banks. That will help real estate in every dimension.

Civil unrest created by the 'Basket of Deplorable Hillary Supporters' is my greatest concern as they wave "love trumps hate" while bashing into property that is not theirs and imposing their tantrum on innocent commuters.

2017 has the great potential to be an outstanding year.

For one thing we are reading that there is a movement to repeal the Frank-Dodd Act.  The stock market is doing well.  And like Michael Jacobs stated there are always sellers and buyers.  That is as much as I know.  A

It depends. Lots of variables like will the Republicans now be successful in eliminating Fannie and Freddie to have no government loan backstops which raises rates? They also want to do tax reform that would either eliminate the MID or severely limit it. Both could have a drag as well as the elimination of the 1031. This is house legislation that could not get through the Senate and vetoes. Stay tuned and watch carefully.
