I do not know much about foreign currencies, but 10%+ a month sounds too good to be true, unless the risk factor is very high.I am involved in some oil and gas investments which have yielded above 20% for over 10 years, but that is annual, not monthly.

If possible I would like to hear some feedback on the properties below:Property 1: Listing price $149,0002 Commercial Units & 1 ResidentialIncome: $17,499Factored in a Vacancy/Loss Rate = 5% or $921Expenses:Taxes = 2200Insurance = 700Trash = 400Water/Sewer = 1,000Maint = 2,000 (high estimate)Total Expenses: $6300Expenses of % of Gross Income =39.20%NOI = $11,199Mortgage = $7,854Total Cash Flow = $3,345 Cash ROI =7.37%Property 2: Listing price $149,0002 Commercial Units & 1 ResidentialIncome: $17,100Factored in a Vacancy/Loss Rate = 5% or $900Expenses:Taxes = 2600Insurance = 800Trash = 400Water/Sewer = 800Maint = 2,000 (high estimate)Oil = $3,900Electric =$1,800Total Expenses: $12,300Expenses of % of Gross Income =73.33%NOI = $4800Mortgage = $7,854Total Cash flow = (3,053)Property 2 obviously does not look good on paper because of the expenses due to oil and electric.She has them listed to buy both for $289,000.

I've been a construction MGR in oil and gas for 10 years and in the business 21 years.

Kilz oil or any other primer will eventually allow it to bleed back through. 

The range hood looks disgusting because someone had spilled cooking oil down onto it, and then a bag of sugar.  

For the Houston guys, how do you guys see the market going now with the trend of less jobs in oil and gas?.

With an oil to gas conversion for example, some gas companies will give you a rebate on a new heater.

It's only fair.7) If you have an old musclecar and it leaks oil in the garage, why exactly should she be responsible for that if you two get a divorce?

Is it oil heat?
