The government is not friends of landlords and does not care if I succeed or fail.

@Kelly Schroeder,So long as our government keeps printing paper money, the purchasing power of the dollar will decrease. 

The September 2025 U.S. employment report, delayed by the government shutdown, showed that employers added 119,000 jobs, more than double the expected 50,000.

Selling the property just to comply with a city that, ironically, provides no sewer, no asphalt, no public lighting, overgrown weeds, and deteriorated access roads in that same area would effectively mean shutting down their business and losing their livelihood.That’s a power inequity where the government can obliterate a small business over paperwork.

The recent government shutdown has amplified uncertainty, reinforcing demand for Treasuries.

The government shut down did hurt, but rents for these types of Temporary Duty (TDY) last between 3-6 months at 2x the LTR rent sometimes more.

Labor shortage due to COVID government payments.  5.  

I lost a few grand in down payment and closing costs, but with ICE in Chicago, the government shutdown, 2 vacancies; and repairs needed I might have dodged a major bullet. 

The government demands that you list that on the forms.

But dont blame you for leaving PDX so did I .. governance there is out of their mind.
