Common Questions
What is FIRPTA?
The Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act requires buyers to withhold 15% of the purchase price when buying from a foreign seller. Understanding and planning around FIRPTA is critical for international CRE investors.
Can foreign investors use 1031 exchanges?
Yes, but only when exchanging US property for other US property. Foreign property cannot be part of a 1031 exchange.
Do you coordinate with my US attorney and CPA?
Yes, and if you need US referrals for entity formation, cross-border tax planning, or FIRPTA compliance, we have established relationships with specialists in these areas.
