@Jay Hinrichs whether Canadian or US currency, sadly this isn't much money anymore.

He made 18% on the "currency trade" alone. 

My motivation is not to get a better ROI than US investments but rather generate euros long term to hedge against currency value changes and an eventual USD value drop.Also, I targeted units already rented for which rent is below rent control threshold.

Around the world, real estate opportunities are becoming increasingly popular with foreign investors looking for lower currency and higher yield.

It's all about KYC.And no, it's not only in the US go check out global means of playing with currency you'll get ****ed harder.

He does use time as currency for a lot of DIY.

Maybe the decline of the dollar won't look so bad measured against the other declining currencies of the world.

Maybe all in the year of the purchase (expenses), maybe spread out over multiple years (capital purchases.)If the C-corp did trading (I assume you mean stocks or currency or some other financial instrument), I'm not sure if they can claim the re-invested money was a deduction or not.

Let them know that as soon as the bank examines the currency and confirms the deposit is valid you will be more than happy to refund their funds.

As a professional Boston area investor, I continually hear of Chinese and other international investors from decelerating/unstable economies, many with weakening currencies, driving up the prices of new-build, Class A residential assets.
