Exchange rates and property: comparing in one currency

When purchase, income and expenses use different currencies, conversion can change results even if local rent stays constant. Choose a base currency and an exchange-rate date, and show scenarios clearly. A local-currency increase is not automatically a gain in another currency.

Practical steps

1. Record the original currency of each amount before conversion
2. Separate conversion charges and spreads from property value
3. Test exchange-rate changes in both directions without assuming a guaranteed trend
