Do you enjoy paying capital gains tax on your hard earned investments? If not, you'll want to attend this session to hear about the unprecedented way to reinvest your nest eggs.

As part of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017, Congress created an incentive for investors to defer, reduce, and eliminate capital gains tax which can go up to as high as 37%, while encouraging investment in communities that have been overlooked.

What you'll learn:
- What are Qualified Opportunity Zones?
- Where are they located?
- How does it work
- How to evaluate QOZ projects
- Feedback from the trenches | what to watch out for?

As always, bring your deals to pitch during our "Ask & Wants" or if you're looking for partners.
