With the US elections and the global financial troubles in the news lately, it seems risky to go all in on this venture.

After looking around I have decided to invest globally in order to have the advantages of having a worldwide portfolio (that is less fragile to local market crashes), and because the ROI in Israel isn't that investor friendly.

Once the money starts flowing I would then use a percentage of profits to contribute to local or global causes.

I just tried to get financing on a commercial property with a 3:1 DSCR and was denied because my global DTI was greater than the bank's requirements.

I've given people I know who trust me personal guarantees and got loans for 1/2 my downpayment (they know I'm good for it as I can cover the debt on a global cash flow level).

But the internet told me it had cheap houses, one of the highest global crime rates, and awesome rental returns, so I did what any wise investor would do and spent all my savings on a rundown out-of-state rental property.

They will want to know about your other projects and your global cash flow.In my 27 years of commercial originating and underwriting, I have seen many cases where borrowers were individually so strapped with personal or other debt they had to take a draw from the subject loan resulting in the cash flow tanking.

The do look at previous income but it's not a totally "global" approach that most banks take.  

Or what if global warming/wildfires are worse than predicted, or a major employer leaves the area(think Kodak/Rochester, car manufacturers/Detroit, etc.)

Globally all income will likely need to be 1.4x all of your debt payments.
