@Jason Hirko when processing a conventional commercial mortgage what are your top five underwriting requirements or minimum requirements you look for (Ex: occupancy rate, appraised value, LTV) when considering approval for financing on a non owner occupied office space? 

Would it be like for ex you wanted more time for financing than say inspection, so a 5 day inspection with the "initial" 3 day dep and a 14 day financing contingency with the 10 day "additional" dep?

Have a say in crypto-currency rates?

Virtual currency may be extremely volatile and unpredictable because of it's unregulated nature.

In NYC now but not afraid to invest globally if the numbers work . . passport currency convert . . meet you at the airport . . will add more bio info as I get to familiar with how things work.Looking to network with people in the area . .

Any investment like stocks, real estate, currency all has the risk factor involved. 

There are certainly deals, but the South African political situation is uncertain, access to gearing is limited, and the currency (Rand) is extremely volatile.John

:) I did not buy any rentals in US, I'm using that capital for marketing and fix and flip business.Although, another tip you should keep in mind if you plan on exchanging USD to EUR is that currency rate is changing every day because of the political situation in the world.

I am even more surprised the lack of discussion here about the new currencies.

Now lending money was a breeze no tax withholding for that I did some HML there .. and with the currency arbitrage and rates it was a killer deal.. although again I learned you just don't foreclose in CA for non payment.. its not like the US..
