Opportunity Zone Program

The Opportunity Zone Program can provide a big financial gain for investors through generous capital gains tax incentives. Since the Opportunity Zone program is so new (late 2017), relatively few investors are familiar with it.

The tax overhaul bill that was passed in late 2017 contained the Investing in Opportunity Act, which established the Opportunity Zone program consisting of Opportunity Zones and Funds. The program was created to revitalize economically distressed communities using private investments rather than taxpayer dollars. In exchange for investing in communities within Qualified Opportunity Zones, investors can access capital gains tax incentives both immediately and over the long term.

As an example, if you sell a piece of property and use the entire proceeds to invest in an Opportunity Zone Fund or a qualified Opportunity Zone Business, and you hold that investment for 10 years, 100% of your capital gains tax liability goes away.

Of course, you do need to use due diligence. Don’t make real estate investments based primarily on tax incentives or as tax avoidance strategy. The real estate investment needs to make sense, and any tax incentives should just be the icing on the cake.

In this episode, Steven Rinaldi will answer such questions as:
  • What exactly are Opportunity Zones?
  • What are the benefits of Opportunity Zones?
  • Where do I find Opportunity Zones?
  • What do I need to do to start an Opportunity Zone Fund?
  • How do Opportunity Zones compare to 1031 exchanges?
