I've been searching for a while here on BP but have not found a thread related to my situation:I've been renovating and renting a property for just over 2 years and may be in a position to sell/close in the next 30-60 days.I am trying to cut-off major projects at this time to make a clean break, however we have committed to replacing windows in one of the units (windows are already ordered), with total project lead-time of 45-60 days (windows have been hard to get for the past year).In the event we have a closing date PRIOR to window installation, how should we handle paying the contractor?

If I move the business and taxes to the USA through an LLC, would that be a smart move to get funding and better interest rates than Mexico's banks, even though the property is in Mexico?

The mortgage market is healthy so there are several ways for income to be calculated including but not limited too: full income verification of two years W-2's or tax returns, 1-2 years of a 1099, average deposits of 12-24 months of personal or (50%) of business bank statements, an up to date P&L, DSCR (debt service coverage ratio) or rental income (investment properties only). - Appraisal.

So, if you 1031 into an asset worth $700K or more to fully defer taxes, you'll have around $240K or so to put down (there are fees and deductions so these numbers are general).
