Hi Lisa Nakata..I've been to old Spaghetti with host Joann, few times....thanks for reminding me to go there..hope we can meet and exchange business  each other on Sept 26.

Quick question:do foreign [out of the country / non US] lenders pay taxes?

I'm a SFR investor and I'd like to do a 1031 exchange with a few of my properties into a small multifamily.I had some financial trouble awhile back and allowed the bank to foreclose on one of my rentals.

@Guy Olds hi nice to meet you, I heard about that meet from my agent we will be attending for sure, we're planning on launching Jan 1st we will definitely exchange cards because we are cash buyers looking for fix and flips.

My thinking is regarding 1031 exchanging properties until I build up a net capital gain of 500k then live in it 2 years to sell it tax free.

We have had good and bad posted here about the DF Act and SAFE Act, I did listen to any attorney seminar (D-F expert, but not really) that broke it down quite well for investors, except that he went on to employ trusts, business entities, family members and other types of convoluted exchanges to justify staying within the exemptions.

@Edita D.As a contractor I get calls for disposals not working due to foreign objects quite a bit.

Makes me wonder if he doesn't feed marks to his uncle in exchange for a cut....
