Hey David,Selling a rental property in Hawaii while residing in Japan can indeed attract Japanese capital gains tax, as Japan taxes global income of its residents.

My properties in 2 states account for about 80% of my cash flow, but the 4 SFH I have in Birmingham account for only 20%.I don’t want to sell as I’ll incur lots of tax (as they were part of a 1031 in the past), but wonder any strategies like seller finance, etc that could possibly result in higher returns on these properties.I am curious what other BP landlords do when a few properties in their portfolio aren’t pulling their weight….Thanks!
