They are very thorough in loan boarding, which can be a pain, but that is actually a good thing.

I think a new administration brings new ideas and new people.

Did they previous take on bridge debt and has that caused them undo "pain" in the recent years?

@David Lewis I've house-hacked both my duplexes in Beverly, MA just north of Boston and I definitely feel your pain.

Quote from @Nate Sanow: Yes I own two that are near 100 years old and I will tell you they are a pain in the you know what compared to all of my post WW2 properties especially post 1980… layouts are better in the last 50 years and energy efficiency is better and I can keep going… HOWEVER to reply to the other aspect of your question, I’ve found appreciation is better with older properties in areas of the path of progress.

At that time, i will have the knowledge and network to expand and build my portfolio at an increasing speed and then it will be part of my growing pains for my business.I will most likely have that CPA do my returns for the real estate and then have my Tax Accountant still do my Personal, helps with Checks and Balance and cost savings.Do you have cost segregation, or anything like that on any of your properties?  

@Nick Rutkowski Thanks for sharing this very painful experience. 

I do find it humorous though that thinks the recent bought of high inflation was caused by the current administration. 

Commercial real estate is more likely to break and other changes with the new administration are likely to break things in ways that cannot be anticipated.

Section 8 is a process, it takes a few months to get everything up and running from an administrative standpoint.
