It does NOT say that this 15% is rolled into an exchange.

There's no tax hit because it's an exchange!

Having foreign investors for a fund is not fun - accounting / admin nightmare.

In a 1031 exchange, would I be able to apportion the entire amount of the proceeds toward the investment (rental) unit so that I can qualify for a full exchange and effectively defer 100% of the gain?

Quote from @Keith Meyer: Hi All,I'm looking to see if anyone knows of a calculator/modeling tool which can help me compare the benefits of selling a property with these four options:Sell and pay capital gains/depreciation recapture upfrontPerform 1031 exchange into new property, defer taxesSell on Seller Carryback Installment Sale, defer taxesSell on Monetized Installment Sale, defer taxesSurprisingly I couldn't find anything online which was very helpful.

@Lisa Lucero, what you are referring to is what we call a diversification exchange, when you sell one investment property and 1031 exchange into multiple smaller investment properties.

Best, AlexandraNot every lender works with foreign nationals.

@Nate Edwards, It's called exactly what you termed - a consolidation exchange. 

Yes there are US lenders that specialize in foreign buyers but for foreign markets you will need to source locally.
