You are exchanging your time, to do something that you would not normally do, for money.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "goes into the exchange," but here are the requirements.

Some will finance foreign nationals.

Another where you give him some up front cash in exchange for a lower price.

Im looking into selling my duplex and using the 1031 Exchange to purchase a property that brings in greater cash flow. 

Hi everyone,I have read some of your articles related to foreigners investing in the USA.

I am also paid 8% of the rents in exchange for managing it.

Truth is me and the people I met there and exchanged numbers with, all came out with more questions than answers and with little to zero confidence that we were ready to begin flipping houses.
