Cash Flow restrictions between the Netherlands and Brazil?
I am trying to find out whether there are any cash-flow restrictions between the Netherlands and Brazil.
A Dutch company with an annex in Brazil, is the Dutch company free to send the profit they made with their annex in Brazil back to the Netherlands or are there any restrictions?
Thanks for your help!

Free cash flow: asset and financing perspectives?
I am taking an introductory finance class and I can not get a grip on free cash flow. I understand that it is completely different from profit, but I don’t understand exactly what it its. Our book also says there is a financial and asset perspective, but they both provide the same answer. What is the best way to understand free cash flow?

How does cash flow between entertainers at gentlemen’s clubs and the club itself?
Patrons spend their money at gentlemen’s clubs on drinks and (sometimes) food, paying and tipping the waitstaff who in turns pays the establishment.
When a patron tips a dancer for a “dollar dance” (or stage dance) or pays for private dance, what does the flow of the money look like? I’ve heard that the dancers are independent contractors, so do they pay the establishment some sort of fee to dance there? If so, is it a combination of flat rate and a portion of their “sales” of private dances, drinks that patrons purchase them, or what?
My associated question is if there is any kind of pattern of “tipping out” (sharing tips with the DJ or other staff) in gentlemen’s clubs, as there is in restaurants?

Is negative cash flow for investment property always bad?
I read an article that stated that it is bad for an investment property to have negative cash flow because the owner is having to pay to have that investment property. However, the owner probably had to put a down payment on the property, which means the owner “paid” to have the property at that time. Isn’t a negative cash flow the same as paying a little bit of an extra down payment in installments each month? And doesn’t the loss help a person’s tax situation in addition to the fact that the majority of their mortgage is being paid by somebody else tax-free?
