I don't understand a lot of it yet, esp why do different currencies get different interest rates etc.

As long as the Fed and the Govt control monetary policy and the dollar remains a global reserve currency, this is unlikely to change.

For ex: if I am moving a property that was built in the 1920's, I will use comps only from remodeled homes between the years of 1920-1940.

Then you wire your money to them and they wire it to whomever you want in whatever currency is necessary.

Hi Mike D'Arrigo,In a nutshell, most paper assets including and especially the stock market are being artificially inflated by the Federal Reserve;s unlimited "Quantitative Easing" (i.e. printing of currency) and suppressed interest rates, virtually at zero percent.

For ex: 10% better than 23%, right?

I dont really identify with a political party by the way.I do believe we differ a bit from Greek or Eurozone countries bc we issue our own currency and have the reserve status.

The only way to handle this without a complete obliteration of the market place and world of currency is to inflate,inflate and inflate some more.

If you look at the definition of a security here:www.sec.gov/about/laws/sa33.pdfyou find:(1) The term ‘‘security’’ means any note, stock, treasury stock, security future, security-based swap, bond, debenture, evidence of indebtedness, certificate of interest or participation in any profit-sharing agreement, collateral-trust certificate, preorganization certificate or subscription, transferable share, investment contract, voting-trust certificate, certificate of deposit for a security, fractional undivided interest in oil, gas, or other mineral rights, any put, call, straddle, option, or privilege on any security, certificate of deposit, or group or index of securities (including any interest therein or based on the value thereof), or any put, call, straddle, option, or privilege entered into on a national securities exchange relating to foreign currency, or, in general, any interest or instrument commonly known as a ‘‘security’’, or any certificate of interest or participation in, temporary or interim certificate for, receipt for, guarantee of, or warrant or right to subscribe to or purchase, any of the foregoing.I've highlighted some of the terms that could refer to a loan.Now, like Corey Dutton I don't really think the SEC trolls craigslist looking for these ads.

In the last couple of years, many people here bought properties in Myrtle Beach, which has had a volatile market for resort properties.The tourism has done pretty well even during the crisis as many foreigners especially Canadians have taken the currency exchange advantages, and as a result, the Myrtle Beach airport is expanding.
