Much of what is written about the Opportunity Zone program involves investors with capital gains from the sale of capital assets. Those gains can be invested in Qualified Opportunity Funds (QOFs) which, in turn, place those resources into one of 8,000 Qualified Opportunity Zones (QOZs). The investors can then benefit from deferred taxes on those capital gains.
To some investors, one of the most appealing aspects of investing in real estate is the opportunity to earn truly passive income. While some people want to be actively engaged in their investment properties, others covet the potential to have their properties generate a passive form of income. However, it’s important to note that there are multiple types of passive real estate investments. Understanding what those options are and which one is right for you can help ensure that you’re making the appropriate choice with your money. One such example of a passive real estate investment tool is a REIT.

Each year we bear witness to yet another out-of-control wildfire that devastates an entire California community, or another destructive hurricane wracking the Eastern Seaboard or the Gulf of Mexico.
There are more than 8,760 Opportunity Zones located in all 50 States, the District of Columbia, and five United States territories, many of which have experienced a lack of investment for decades. Qualified Opportunity Zones (QOZ) can provide investors with attractive tax advantages and there’s an ability for OZs to offer annual returns; however, there is no assurance of investment returns, profits, or property appreciation in an Opportunity Zone investment.
Qualified Opportunity Zone investments and Qualified Opportunity Funds were created by the Tax Cuts and Jobs act in 2017. The legislation created an incentive for investors to reinvest capital gains into designated areas known as Qualified Opportunity Zones (QOZs). By supporting these economically disadvantaged localities, the investors benefit from the chance to defer and reduce the obligation to pay taxes on the capital gain.
