When you combine that with uncertainty in the currency markets i.e. the whole issue of the debt ceiling the problems with Greece, Spain and Portugal commodites have become a "Safe Haven" as well as their normal roles in industry and agriculture.

That domino was Greece.  

Note to former self, the powerball numbers for April 29, 2017 are 7, 17, 24, 5 ...

Recently I have received several inquiries from investors in Greece, and several other Countries in Europe, who are seeking private or hard money loans.

I'm actually in the same situation as you "sort of lol" just following the news and everything happening with Greece and the feds not raising rates for almost 6 years and on top of this talk of war and dollar losing value can make things scary to move forward.Note I'm also new so take my advice and research that's what I did anyway but from reading what you wrote your goal is passive income so honestly it really don't matter really if one thing is true you make money when you buy that is a fact.

I also like the idea of BRRRR, partly because renovating houses brings a lot of joy and satisfaction.Fun fact: Rae and I met in Greece!

However, I am having trouble finding something similar for Monroe Country or surrounding suburbs (specifically Greece).  

Suppose Greece, Ireland or Portugal goes under and no bailout by Euros.1.

A lot of people recommend buying in Greece now bcs their economy has dropped significantly.

My property is in Greece.
