JPY future is usually 1 of the most liquid currency pair and this should not be the case unless there is a tremendous amount of stress in the market.3) The market action in totality and the Fed reaction tells me a lot of players are hurting for cash/liquidity and many are facing forced liquidation in their positions, but many are also afraid to provide the liquidity due to their VAR (Value At Risk) position limits (thanks in many way to Dodd Frank regulations) and the widening of volatility and bid/ask price differentials. 

For truly passive investors or those not wanting any additional responsibility or required self-education then just contributing to a retirement account is much better than putting it in one of those high-yield 1% savings accounts or worse yet - buying a new matching pair of jet skis for you and your cousin to hit the lake with.

But if you want to invest in C clase properties then I recommend Decas Group (J Benoit).  

What are some Security Systems out there that pair well with a 30-unit Class C multifamily building?

Pair that with the same slowness to get from 6-7 to 10, like above, and it's a while before a power couple actually reaches 20.The portfolio stuff that's very Fannie-like except for not having the 10 financed property cap, and it might be an ARM, will get you to 15 for each spouse, 30 total.

Example:  Puchase + rehab loan with zero down that is a paired product with the refinance loan. 

(What a great salesman it was that first paired that word with real estate investing!) 

You would be amazed how quickly that solved the problem now they aren't creating loads for a pair of pj's, or taking hour long hot showers in the winter.

What is relevant is a seller willing to close 2-4 weeks slower than what is otherwise normal in your market, which is often made possible by a property being so beat up that no one really wants it paired with a seller that values money over time.

In Chicago that would pair you with Evans Lowenstien, Moscardini and Shiminowsky.
