Opportunity Zones, What Are They? Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCIA) created a new investment called Opportunity Zones on December 22, 2017. This Act encourages taxpayers to invest capital through private investments. Investing in businesses and real estate in distressed communities spurs economic development. Many real estate investors who have used 1031 exchanges are curious about this new real estate investment possibility. The new regulations have opened up more great options for real estate investors and warrant discussion.
A good deal of the decision comes down to the property’s location and the timeline. We strongly encourage you to discuss both strategies with your tax advisor. In doing this, you will determine which course of action would best suit your needs and objectives.
