One of the big tax advantages for real estate investors in the US is the 1031 Exchange: it allows an investor to sell an asset and not pay capital gains tax on the sold asset, provided they use the proceeds from the sale to purchase another asset within 6 months. The question arises if foreign nationals also qualify for such an advantageous deal. Foreign nationals  qualify for a  1031   exchange  no matter where they are from - including Canada - provided they are selling US real estate and buying US real estate.  They save approximately 25-30% in capital gains tax. There is only one restriction for foreign nationals: the IRS holds 15% in escrow if the sale amount is over $300,000, which is called  "firpta" (Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act). They receive the amount back when filling their tax return and the tax return to fill out is not a full tax return. Please see this link for more information. One of the important elements to co...
