After struggling with the dilemma of buying a multifamily in a rising Boston market or renting and buying elsewhere, I decided to buy a duplex--or should I say, was able to get one under contract; it was very difficult to get any offer that made financial sense accepted.My questions now relate to getting the property up and running and making future renovations.

The silver lining is the city now has the opportunity to go forward with a restructured debt load, restructured union contracts, restructured pension and retiree health care liabilities and with one person, the emergency manager in charge along with a bankruptcy judge, the ability to make decisive changes that the former leadership was unable to do.
