For ex.

Virgin Islands so no currency exchange issues to be concerned with.

I am involved in foreign currencies.

My background before becoming a CFP was at the Comptroller of the Currency in bank regulation. 

@Eric While I think the odds of a shooting war with China are low I do think a two system (two internets, two currencies, two great powers, etc) world is inevitable.

Hi HaileyBeware of property rights in Thailand and currency fluctuations among many other things ..... 

@Latrisa Here's a link to the map where STRs are not allowed in Galveston: https://www.galvestonparkboard.org/DocumentCenter/View/1785/...However, I also maintain a list of neighborhoods that "allow" STR but add stipulations such as the requirement for rentals to be weekly (not less than 7 days) or that a maximum number of guests (12 for ex) are allowed at one property regardless of bedroom size.

Lately, I have been recently involved in a couple crypto currency launches that also donate funds to various charities, Wounded Warriors, the water project etc,.

As currency loses its value and purchasing power, ownership of real property can be a safe haven equaling or even exceeding loss of purchasing power.Another point I'd like to emphasize is that their is substantial difference between various categories of notes; the note universe contains many different investment types and lends itself to many different strategies.  

Given the state of currency wars, current levels of debt, and impediments to widespread economic growth I put higher odds of interest rates being lower in 5 years then higher.
