Deferring Capital Gains in a stagnant market = opp. fund gold

It seems to me that people are going to have issues right now that have 1031 exchange money or capital gains money that needs to be redirected. What do you guys think?

Think about it... sellers will be cautious to sell because they will want the market to bounce back. Buyers who want to offset capital gains will need to redirect their monies somewhere but this is a brave new world. The economy is stagnant so... will rents come back? will buying come back? will commercial real estate plunge because everyone knows how to work from home now? fledging retail will know start their death gargle early as they were on their last breath to begin with??

I mean.. guys chime in here... it seems to me that the only place to really invest smartly is with a bonafide opportunity zone fund? right? I am working with my clients to do so with a great opportunity fund I found and I think that is the only port in the storm right now. What do you think?

any other good ideas or is mine sound? Let's talk... love to hear other perspectives.

I agree with @Evan Polaski and think the bounce back will be fast. Where did the rent go?? Just because buyer demand died doesn't mean rental rates dropped. It's still a good time to sell properties. It's still difficult to find good deals. I don't see a big change even after the virus blows over.
