Barrett also touches on the potential extension of Opportunity Zone provisions and the types of gain eligible for investment. He provides insights into the timing rules for investment and the tax benefits of holding an investment for 10 years. Finally, he discusses the process of setting up a Qualified Opportunity Fund. In this conversation, Barrett Linburg discusses the tax deferral and reduction benefits of investing in Opportunity Zones. He explains the rules and requirements for qualified Opportunity Funds and the importance of deploying capital within specific timeframes. Barrett also highlights the role of qualified Opportunity Zone businesses and the flexibility they offer in cash management. He emphasizes the need for proper structuring and compliance in the Opportunity Zone space. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the adoption of technology to streamline business workflows and how to get in touch with Barrett Takeaways Real estate investors can benefit from buying distressed properties and performing extensive renovations to increase returns and lower operating expenses. The decision to hold or sell a project depends on factors such as the tax structure, net cash flow, and return on equity. Opportunity Zone investing offers tax benefits, including deferral of capital gains taxes and potential elimination of taxes on appreciation after holding the investment for 10 years. Investors must have a capital gain to invest in an Opportunity Zone fund, and the gain can come from various sources, including stocks, real estate, and personal assets. Investing in Opportunity Zones allows for tax deferral and reduction until April 2027. Qualified Opportunity Funds must deploy capital into real estate projects within specific timeframes. Qualified Opportunity Zone businesses provide flexibility in cash management and have testing requirements. Setting up a qualified Opportunity Fund requires compliance with tax regulations and deal flow management. Awareness and adoption of Opportunity Zones are growing, but there is still room for more participation. Investors can diversify their investments by partnering with different Opportunity Zone funds. Personal qualified Opportunity Funds are suitable for individuals who are comfortable with compliance and deal sourcing. Adopting technology, such as Copilot, can streamline business workflows and improve efficiency.
When raising capital for an Opportunity Zone project, there are important practical and legal considerations for OZ project sponsors and Qualified Opportunity Fund managers to understand. On today's show, OZ Insiders founder Jimmy Atkinson details the implications of offering an investment security, and the five critical things that every sponsor needs before offering a Qualified Opportunity Fund.

In this episode Terry Martine sits down with Rick Martens of Inland Capital and discuss what an opportunity zone is and how it is used for investors. According to the IRS, "A Qualified Opportunity Zone (QOZ) is an economically distressed community where new investments, under certain conditions, may be eligible for preferential tax treatment. Localities qualify as QOZs if they have been nominated for that designation by a state, the District of Columbia, or a U.S. territory and that nomination has been certified by the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury via his delegation of authority to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)."Isn't it interesting that the government knows that in order to revitalize an area, the easiest way is to give tax incentives? In a nutshell, the government is allowing accredited investors the opportunity to build/invest in one of these zones and get a substantial tax reduction. This is one of the episodes where we take a deep dive into the topic. The best way to get the most out of this podcast is to listen all the way through the first time then grab a notebook and write down your questions for the second time through.

Dr. Ben Carson, Secretary, Housing and Urban Development, joins America's Roundtable co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy to discuss the impact of the opportunity zones across the United States where 35 million Americans reside. The Opportunity Zones incentive, created by the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, was designed to spur economic development and job creation by encouraging long-term investments in low-income communities nationwide. As America begins its path of economic recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns, this initiative is a unique endeavor to fuel job creation and economic growth. The conversation also highlights the importance of focusing on the science and real data from around the world when addressing the concerns about the coronavirus pandemic which originated in Wuhan, China. Dr. Carson brings to the table his experiences as a medical professional, a longtime Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, a position which he held since the age of 33. Dr. Ben Carson presents ideas and solutions, emphasizing the guidelines provided by the administration and best practices outlined in order to safely reopen schools across America. Over 50 million students from K-12 grade have been impacted by the disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Greater concerns are raised as some states and school districts are pushing back on safely reopening schools. While virtual education may help a certain group of students, these efforts may further marginalize the over 43% of children from lower income families lacking access to digital devices and the 15% of U.S. households with school-age children who do not have a high-speed internet connection at home. Schools insisting on virtual education are ignoring the digital divide. This may adversely affect low-income families and specifically children from the Black, Hispanic and rural areas. https://ileaderssummit.org/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ | https://ileaderssummit.org/services/americas-roundtable-radio/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 Twitter: @SecretaryCarson @ileaderssummit @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development: https://www.hud.gov/ https://www.hud.gov/about/Secretary — The Opportunity Zones incentive, created by the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, was designed to spur economic development and job creation by encouraging long-term investments in low-income communities nationwide. Nearly 35 million Americans live in the more than 8,700 Opportunity Zones across the country. —The Secretary was just in Charleston, SC for an Opportunity Zone focused event with Senator Scott to discuss a new rule from the Treasury to drive more capital in underserved communities. —273 action items have been completed by the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council as of the end of April. This list is available at OpportunityZones.gov. Each of these action items helps further the Council’s mission of complementing private Qualified Opportunity Fund investment. —The rate of infection among younger schoolchildren and from students to teachers has been low, especially if proper precautions are followed.

To discuss HUD's response to the crisis, Sam Chandan is joined by the Honorable Seth Appleton, Assistant Secretary for Policy Development & Research at HUD and head of Ginnie Mae; and Alfonso Costa, Deputy Chief of Staff to Secretary Ben Carson and HUD's agency lead for the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council.

Qualified Opportunity Zones were created in the 2017 tax plan passed by congress. Following is from my second conversation with Real Estate Accountant, Jonathan McGuire, from Aldrich Advisors. In this we dive into the clarifications provided Treasury Department draft proposal of proposed regulations. Eventually, final regulations will follow. In the second round, a path from inception to exit strategy has been made clear. On CREPN Radio episode #158 Round I, Jonathan explained what Qualified Opportunity Zones were and their purpose. For investors with a capital gain, from any investment, they could invest with a temporary deferral on the owed tax if they stayed in for 5 or 7 years. If they stayed in 10 plus years, the subsequent gain on the investment in the Qualified Opportunity Zone is TAX FREE. Click the link to download your Qualified Opportunity Zone Explanation Temporary Gain Deferral Temporary Gain Deferral is the initial benefit to investors with capital gains who reinvest their gain into a Qualified Opportunity Fund that invest in a Qualified Opportunity Zone. The QOZ deferral program last until December 31, 2026 at which time, the deferred tax becomes due. Discount on the Original Capital Gain If the investor holds the investment for: 5 years by 12/31/2026, the investor receives a 10% discount on the basis for which tax is owed. 7 years by 12/31/2026, the investor receives a 15% discount on the basis for which tax is owed TAX FREE BONUS If the investor holds the investment for more than 10 years, ALL SUBSEQUENT GAINS ARE TAX FREE! Round II Clarifications: Use inside the Qualified Opportunity Zones - Originally, the understanding was specific to the real estate; new construction, or substantially improved. The round II clarified that tenants in a QOZ can also take advantage of the tax laws. TAX FREE GAIN End Date Round II clarified the end date for the free bonus on the subsequent gain. The 100% tax free subsequent gain ends in 2047. Previously, there was no recognized end date attached to this. This will likely create another anniversary date for additional market activity. Fund Rules Fund Rules require that 90% of assets held by opportunity zone fund must be invested in qualified opportunity zone stock, partnership or property. And, at least 70% of the property inside of the business, etc must be qualified, ie: acquired after 12/17, substantial improvement, original use inside the QOZ, etc. More Clarifications: Land will always have original use. This clarification reduces the amount of substantial improvement required, due to the subtraction of the land value from the purchase price. The reference point for determining the value of the land is the county assessor tax record. QOZ allows you to separately recognize the true economic value of the structure and land. By lowering the value of the structure, this lowers the amount of substantial improvement needed to qualify for the QOZ. Depreciation, if you keep the investment for 10 plus years and sell before 2047, for qualified investments, there will be no capital gain and capital gain tax. Therefore, the benefit of a cost segregation study is worth even more when considering the basis step up. Because you have no gain, you can have no depreciation recapture. Paying the deferred tax from your original gain that your deferred into the Qualified Opportunity Zone has been made easier. Round II explanation provides the option to refinance the property, take cash out so that you can pay the tax due in 2026 Property in lieu of cash can be contributed to the Qualified Opportunity Zone. If you currently own property in a zone, but do not have a gain from a sale, you can contribute the property you hold into the fund, and participate in the investment. BIGGEST RISK Each week I ask my guest, “What is the Biggest Risk Real Estate Investors face?” BIGGEST RISK: I would say the BIGGEST RISK is not taking a serious look at Opportunity Zones. If you don't do it and put a little bit of sweat equity into this to see if you can you can make a deal fit inside of a zone. If you have a project underway or a potential project that you're looking at I mean, you would be doing yourself a disservice if you have a property or a business that it's going to be located in the zone and not take advantage of this. Now maybe you don't have capital gains so you can't do anything. But you know maybe you need some investors, and you need capital. Why take a debt interest? Let's get somebody with equity that wants to have a vested interest in seeing the business succeed and create an investment that works for them and for you. And then it's a win win on both sides.

Ben-Yosef about favorable and unfavorable aspects of the 2019 proposed regulation package and some remaining uncertainties.
