$$ Invest just the capital gains not the entire 1031 amount $$

[Steve S.]

When doing a 1031 exchange you need to invest the entire amount of the capital from the real estate transaction and all the capital gains you made. 

With an opportunity fund you just need to invest the capital gains only, so you can hold onto the rets of the money. 

Take advantage of the greatest tax shelter ever created and stop just being a lemming following the 1031 crowd because that was the only game in town for the last 80+ years.

The more you know makes you a more powerful and wiser investor.
