That is good advice SDR but how long is the exchange rate situation going to be favorable? She is not thinking of moving here for at least a year(I believe). After renting for a year an erosion of that exchange factor could come into play. It would be great if it stayed in her favor until the next trough but who knows? That is why I suggested she start a thread to discuss it. FSD Maybe you have some ideas? I Think it would be really interesting to see some piggs bat it around.
