@Tajinder Kandola, in most cases the 1031 property has been held for more than a year thus saving you the 15 - 20% US capital gains tax.What is usually more of a concern for foreign investors is that regardless of the potential gain, the FIRPTA act require a withholding of 15% of the sales price of the property.  

Major non-profit and consumer groups mark this statement as a red flag for scammer activity, so at the risk of seeming like an illegitimate business, it might be wise to withhold that statement.

Then I might point out I'm not withholding and what tah's worth to them.Then I might say, tell ya what, I'll pay you XX an hour and I'll help you (supervise) and pay no more than XXX for the job, which ever is less.

I've not been down the path of withholding information they request... so can't comment what happens in that scenario.

Furthermore, if it is found that you were not in the house when it burned down, the insurance company can withhold the additional premiums for what should have been paid under a landlord policy from loss proceeds, since you insured it improperly....and then some just might return only the premiums and say you fradulently insured the premises!

If the beef is between the seller and their broker/agent why can't the escrow agent just withhold those funds and let them battle it out?

Hi everybody.I have a question on the tax/legal side here.Does an LLC created in the United States under the law of the U.S. and the any state, whose managers/members are foreign individuals, is subject to the FIRTPA withholding when selling a U.S. real estate property ?

@Adam PI'm far from an expert and this is a question for @Brandon Hall or @Steven Hamilton, but  your capital gain/loss on the mortgage may be treated separately from your currency gain by the IRS.However, before you money even goes south, note the following:Sale of Canadian property and non-resident tax If you are disposing of real property situated in Canada, you are subject to a non-resident withholding tax of 25% of the gross sales price.

C-corp will help because the profit withholding?

So, can they withhold August rent based on the fact that I did not provide a security deposit receipt, nor did I make yearly interest payments?
