I would make sure their audience fits your goals and try to get exchange creators to come on Mondays or Tuesdays (slow days) instead of paying them.

Since you’re dealing with a different currency, ensure you understand the implications of exchange rates on your financing options.Consider Partnerships: Partnering with local investors or using property management companies can help mitigate risks and streamline the investment process, especially if you're not in the country full-time.6.

The listing agent told me that I have mention in the offer the seller is doing a 1031 exchange.

It could be a good starting point and then sell and do a 1031 exchange.

It would also make 1031 tax deferred exchange a more viable approach and tool you can use.

If you are wanting to sell your real estate property, but are worried about paying taxes on the capital gains, a great strategy to consider is a 721 Exchange.

Unfortunately, you miss out on a lot of the cool tax benefits you’d get with long-term real estate investing—like long-term capital gains rates, bonus depreciation, 1031 exchanges, depreciation, etc.Another thing to keep in mind is that when you buy a property to flip, you can’t just deduct the purchase price right away.

So, if you are paying the tax on that every 5 years whether you want to or not, it is not nearly the same advantage as one's own direct investments where they can 1031 exchange over and over until death and NEVER recapture that depreciation.

It should leave me with about $250K, I have to 1031 exchange somewhere. 

I'm currently the founder and CEO of 1031 Prime, a tech enabled 1031 exchange service to help keep taxes at bay and support the defer, depreciate, and die model.My goals for the next 18 months are to continue to grow 1031 Prime by servicing my fellow real estate investors and buy a small MF property, Ideally 4-8 units.
