As for the companies I am buying I look for large multinational companies.

Employment will continue to rise.Inflation fueled by debt will be the greatest threat by end of the year, but I think we've seen this year that it's a delayed risk which the stock market/mortgage rates can overlook in the short run.In Atlanta, I think we'll see rents continue to rise sharply while new construction continues to spin up and non-investor buyers come back into the market.I think multi-national companies, domestic consumer goods/services, and foreign markets will outperform this year.Take this with a grain of salt.

It's much more direct than giving to a multi-national charity where you don't know where the money is going.That said, it's all about what makes you feel better.

DE is a business friendly state when you have a large multi-national but I am not sure it matters much for a 1 or 2 person LLC.3.

Because of my background I was able to find employment with a large, multi-national real estate company.   

However there is a small chance that at some point I may lose this entitlement (I work for a multinational company and there may be a need to relocate overseas permanently).It would be my intention to retain ownership of the property even if I do indeed end up leaving and continue to receive rental payments.

Most multi-nationals are naturally hedged because they do business in so many countries their assets, liabilities, and cash flows are remeasured in so many currencies the net effect of some currencies moving for and against the US dollar is minimal.

With Federal Bank interest rates at 7%, mortgage rates at 12%, business loans at 20% and personal loans at 38-50% and inflation just below 3%, it presents an amazing potential for US funders.I know there is greater country-risk but the spread between US-Mexico interest rates is huge, that's why Mexican bank branches of multinational banks are within the most profitable in the world.

My contacts are actually within the Commercial Loan processing area, particularly the area of international/multi-national syndication. 

Probably too late into this discussion and no one will read this reply but here goes:By day I'm a CFO of a multinational.
