Thanks Opus for your detailed reply. I will use the prevailing exchange rate on the day of the sale and for other activities. With regard to travel expenses, I came across the following link while doing a Google search. It is an old article and was published in Bankrate. It indicates that the travel expenses can be included.

We have to pay any real estate taxes owed up through the day before the sale date. It is allowed as per publication # 523. Feel free to provide your comments and suggestions. With gratitude, Dabu.
