I’m developing a commercial building in a country in West Africa, and would love your insights on its profitability and financing approach.Project Summary:- 950 sqm corner plot under a 40-year ground lease- G+1 commercial building with 36 shops, a prayer room, and rooftop ad panels- Located in the capital's market zone — very high foot traffic- Initial investment: the equivalent of $USD 930,000 in local currency which includes the 10 years of prepaid land rentRevenue & Occupancy:- Annual rental revenue (Year 1): the equivalent of $USD145,000 in local currency- 7% shop rent increase every 5 years- The annual revenue assumes 100% occupancy, which is typically reached within 1–2 years in this area due to high demand and visibilityOperating Expenses:- Recurrent yearly expenses total USD$20,000, covering: Security, maintenance, generator upkeep, insurance, taxes, repairs, and contingencies- Land rent restarts in Year 11 with a 10% increase every 10 yearsFinancing Scenarios:- With loan (USD$550,000 at 7%, over 6 years)   → Break-even in Year 12- All-cash (no loan)   → Break-even in Year 8After breakeven, the project produces pure cash flow for 28–32 years.

did you know that banks have their own font and font size (so its like creating your own currency, if you do it and use the right people you will know). 

And all currencies will eventually go to zero, Warren Buffet was not the first one to say this.Once I understood this, I started looking at leverage in a totally different way.

I've talked to a few Venezuelans who had similar experiences during their own recent upheavals who survived it with 1/10th ounces of gold as the currency failed. 

Quote from @Dave Currence: @Bonnie Haynes good morning Bonnie.

Your take on crypto resonates with me.

This also does not just apply to real estate but also stocks/bonds, mutual funds/ETF's, crypto, business, or other investments. 

You can purchase real estate with crypto now and I hear coinbase can be used for escrow in some transactions.
