You have 45 days to identify replacement property that 180 to close on said property(s).Its a way of kicking the can down the road with taxes.

I believe this property was listed by a Zillow bot that identified it was going to auction through the MLS..

You are still required to identify and purchase one or more replacement properties of equal or greater value. 

And unless you have family abroad who can help you identify a quality property or you yourself are very familiar with a particular international market, I don't think buying property in another country is the best idea.https://www.numbeo.com/property-investment/rankings_by_country.jsp

Identifying the circumstance and motivation of the squatter makes a lot of sense for finding the most efficient solution.

I suppose I should have mentioned that when the tenant reached out, I talked to a real estate broker friend of mine who said he was willing to help with the transaction for a fixed fee since it's fairly straightforward (buyer identified, no listing or staging needed, etc.

Going forward I am going to try to identify properties that may be in financial distress or pre-foreclosure and present the owners with an easy option for a way out of their situation. 

Once we identified, we put in an offer $50K under asking.

Have some minor repair work identified in a duplex during the inspection (roof, siding, bathroom, steps, attic, basement)?
