Being proactive is key with Opportunity Zones investing, and there is a lot of new legislative updates that everyone in the Opportunity Zones marketplace needs to be aware of. In this podcast, Nest Opportunity Fund founder Clint Edgington gives a top-level overview of the successes and failures of the program to date, as well as explaining the strategies his advisory firm employs to help clients keep more of the money that they earn, and as you can imagine, it all starts with careful and intelligent financial planning.
Are Opportunity Zones a success? Well, as Mr. Edgington mentions on the podcast, it depends on how you define success. Certainly there is deal flow with respect to real estate deals (although maybe not as much as expected, thank you Covid), but the job creation aspect of the program perhaps may be lacking. For now at least. The program seems to be moving forward nicely in that area as people are understanding that the business component is the part of the whole program that will make everything else sustainable.
But from an investor perspective, it’s all about financial planning and understanding the tax issues that apply to each person’s unique situation on a case-by-case basis. Some opportunity zone funds focus on real estate, others on business, and some on both. But regardless, it makes a lot of sense to consult with a financial or estate planner who can develop the proper plan of action and give you sound advice regarding all the tax issues associated with the Opportunity Zones program to stay compliant with all the Legislative changes. And of course, liquidity is a major issue in all of this!
The lesson after listening to this podcast is do not go it alone! You’re sure to run into issues that you may not be aware of, and it’s always smart to avoid IRS pain.
