THE COMPOUNDING BENEFITS OF OPPORTUNITY
ZONE INVESTING
By Jeff Pintar
Investment opportunities that offer compounding benefits create a real advantage for investors . OZ investments offer these benefits through a highly tax efficient structure for HNW investors .
When I first started investing in real estate nearly 30
years ago , a wise investor shared something that was revolutionary to me at the time , “ it ’ s not how much you make , but how much you keep .” Nearly all real estate investors I know seem to model both before and after-tax returns , making my wise old friend ’ s comment ring true . With the new tax laws in 2017 and the creation of Opportunity Zones , there has never been a more attractive form of tax advantaged investing than investing in OZs . Investors get the benefits of taking unrealized gains and if invested in one of the 8,700 designated OZs for ten years , the ability to compound those gains like never before possible . This all occurs while creating jobs and providing much needed capital improvements in targeted communities .
