Opportunity Zone for Investment Property

[Ashley Cao]

Hello BP-ers! I am looking to purchase a buy and hold property for cash flow and see there are some properties for sale in Opportunity Zones. What does this mean to me as an investor? What should I be aware of? Are there any additional actions/steps I should be considering if I acquired one of these properties?

Thanks for your insight!

An opportunity zone is an economically-distressed community where new investments, under certain conditions, may be eligible for preferential tax treatment. Localities qualify as opportunity zones if they have been nominated for that designation by the state and that nomination has been certified by the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury via his delegation of authority to the Internal Revenue Service.
