Quote from  Foster: @Anthony Quint, the 1031 exchange is something you don't have in CA that allows you to sell appreciated real estate in the US and purchase new real estate while indefinitely deferring paying tax on profits.The thing about this for a non US citizen is that you will be subject to a 15% withholding called the FIRPTA withholding tax.

Also, as I and @Dave Foster told you on that other thread, there is no honest creativity with 1031 if you plan to 1031 into a residence where you will live immediately.
