The tax benefits of investing in the Opportunity Zones Marketplace are making investors take notice. Many are considering starting their own Opportunity Zone fund, but does that make sense for everyone? In this podcast, Gerry Reihsen – the founder of Coasis Coalition and Reihsen & Associates – discusses several points as to whether or not you should start your own fund, and if you do, how to do it correctly as well as what to expect cost-wise, what tax considerations should be considered, marketing issues you’ll need to understand, and regulatory requirements that you definitely will want to be in compliance with.
Listen to “Why Create an Opportunity Zone Fund? … and How To Do It!” on Spreaker.
As Mr. Reihsen mentions on the podcast, there are so many positives setting up your own Opportunity Zone Fund, why wouldn’t you do that? Well, in reality, there are plenty of reasons. But once you ponder the points he makes on the show and at that point think creating an Opportunity Zone fund may be right for you, the next question becomes obvious: how do you do it?
However, even more importantly: how do you do it correctly? What entity should you set it up as? What do you tell the IRS? Where are the 3 areas where most activity in Opportunity Zone Funds occur? What are the most important tax considerations you should be aware of? What are the documents you need to produce to attract investors? When and why? What’s the best strategy for timing your offering? How do you keep your fund in compliance with all the regulatory agencies? How much will this all cost? Listen to the podcast as Mr. Reihsen addresses all these points. But perhaps the key to answering all these questions is this: find expert, experienced, and knowledgeable advisors to guide you through it all!
And perhaps the best part: if you already have set up a OZ fund and for some reason it may not be working out for you, a big part of Gerry’s business is fixing the problems you may have run into originally!
