I am looking to do a 1031 international exchange, and since Canada is a bit closer and easier to manage, I am wondering if any of you have any experience in certain areas  in Canada.

I had a few questions that I think would really help everyone reading this whether or not you have your license yet don't be afraid to Chime in and leave your feedback.I am currently interning for an Associate Broker under EXP realty, is there any advice anyone here can give as to what to do next after getting my Realestate license?

Also, the state of formation is likely where internal disputes would be brought among LLC members, so if you and a partner live in CA, you probably want to arbitrate in CA if the two of you had a disagreement.

@Marcus BrownIn my earlier reply, I failed to consider the point that you brought up: does a mobile home qualify for the purposes of the capital gain exclusion under Section 121 of the Internal Revenue Code?  

I can manage rent collection as it's electronic so I really just need a point person for situations where I'm not reachable.  

I figured I would hire a accountant and do my full due diligence on taxes after my first deal, as it is completely pointless to worry about taxes unless I am actually making money, however the day I close my first deal Id hire an accountant.Might not be completely pointless to determine what you're going to be paying in professional fees each year to retain tax professionals on both sides of the border, so that you can build that cost into your ROI calc to determine if what you're thinking about doing makes financial sense, or if you need more scale...Transacting across international borders isn't cheap. 

I have a couple partners and theyre out of state...one international.......it takes a lot of trust, integrity and communication.....but its possible and once its going and operating like a well oiled machine....its unstoppable

If you are doing electronic applications you can always turn them off, I do towards the end but will still show in case my person falls through. 

You'll see more from us later in the year due to our position in our internal Note cycle right now (in a purchasing phase, which leads to loan modifications or foreclosures).
