Tax Defferred until 2026?

[Jason Kern]

Hi All, 

I've been having an interesting discussion with my attorney and CPA about the addition of Qualified Opportunity Zones to the tax laws. The gist is this: Anyone who wants to diversify from the stock market into real estate can do so with a syndication that invests in real estate within prescribed (according to census data) Qualified Opportunity Zones while deferring the capital gains tax hit for several years. It's similar to a 1031 in that there's a specific timeframe, etc. Apparently, we're still waiting for the final regulations? Anyone know anything?
