classic scam.to the OP  google Ingrid Robinson /  American greed   / Remington financial she took those guys down and its worth watching how they work.. the foreigners are on to it.. so anything with even slightly bad English is a huge red flag and 100% fraud.this guy looks more Russian than Kiwi to me.. 

AND THEY CAN SCREAM EASY AT THE TOP OF THEIR LUNGS IF THEY WANT.BUT GO AND CONVINCE YOUR NEAREST RELATIVE TO SELL THEIR LARGEST ASSET WITH YOU AT ONLY A 5% MARK UP AND YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW REAL ESTATE EXCHANGES WORK. 

Bought a place a few months ago on market while doing a 1031 exchange..

And the condo debacle in FL will be churning for quite a while as these rogue HOAs try to get realistic with deferred maintenance, new requirements, and freedom for people to use as they need to afford them.One thing to consider would be to 1031 all of them in a consolidation exchange. 

Possibly partner with a group but would only do money lending or group in exchange for gaining knowledge of how to independently do things.

@William Bohan, Yeah, being a CA resident you'll have to do a 1031 exchange or your tax will approach 40%. 

Franky,You would use a Foreign National or DSCR loan for buying a property in the US while in Canada. 

Then you can combine or exchange for a better or more consolidated/ better proforming area.  

Or what about the foreign and criminal funds funneled into the DNC through ActBlue?

A “1031 exchange investor” would be someone who’s already selling something and wants to buy something else.
