For example, if there's a flashing issue on the roof that will certainly leak, then I replace it.

I had to replace the kitchen countertop and renovate the bathroom once.Anyways, the BRL/USD exchange rate is very favorable for international investors now.

@J ScottThis sounds great.

I am wanting to expand my business into property and project management as well but how do I contact other investors about partnering and expanding without sounding like I am cold calling?

This poses a challenge because one of the requirements for a 1031 exchange is that both the relinquished property (the property being sold) and the replacement property (the property being purchased) must be held for investment or used in a trade or business.If your client's mother purchased the land less than a year ago, it's unlikely that it would qualify as replacement property for a 1031 exchange because it hasn't been held for investment or used in a trade or business for a sufficient amount of time.However, there may be other options available to minimize the tax implications for your client and his mother:Hold the Property Longer: If your client's mother holds onto the land for a longer period of time and can demonstrate that it is held for investment purposes, it may become eligible for a 1031 exchange in the future.Consider Other Investment Properties: Your client could explore other investment properties that have been held for a longer period of time and would qualify as replacement property for a 1031 exchange.
