1: can we use a 1031 exchange on an international property sale (Mexico) that is debt free?

Lots of national/international attention brought by BP as a conduit for people from markets that are at a higher price point.

In fact, the second most popular summer destinations after beaches are cities (and that’s placing them ahead of lakes, mountains, international travel, resort destinations, and national/state parks). 

Still makes this a very attractive market for out-of-state or international folks.

Everyone had their own valuation models and they used them to calculate their own internal fair value.  

My contracts constitute a bono fide installment sale according to Internal Revenue (IRS) guidelines.  

I dont know how they underwrite Net worth.. but if its equity in real estate I bet internally they discount it. 

It get's a bit more intricate when speaking internationally because of variables such as currency conversions that lend a factoring, it get's a bit down a rabbit hole let's say but point is the U.S. isn't the only one going through massive shift of things, everyone is in variations but in end it all equates the same thing, one's currency income per labor/work hr purchasing less. 

That being said, I think international investors should stick to big capital cities unless accompanied by very knowleadgeable experts.

Funny enough I have traveled international more than inside the US.
