DFW Opportunity Zones

[Chris Gerstner]

Howdy Folks. 

I ran across this article from D Magazine on the South Dallas Opportunity Zone and its overall possible impact. I have been keeping an eye on these neighborhoods as there appears to be some good SFH flip potential but this might peak your interest in some of the commercial project potential.

Just wanted to share and see if anyone has any other input or suggestions on how to take advantage of this. 

Pretty intriguing stuff.

Hi @Chris Gerstner - yes, Opportunity Zones offer a lot of great advantages to investors, especially if you are already familiar with and investing in the area. 

@Neal Bawa has produced some great content on this subject and attached is one of his decks: https://multifamilyu.com/wp-content/uploads/V6-Opportunity-Zone-Webinar.pdf (as I'm too lazy to list out all the advantages). 

I wrote a BP blog around my first Opportunity Zone investment in Chicago and the necessary steps to get to closing if interested: https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/12409/86947-my-first-opportunity-zone-experience-and-how-others-can-do-the-same
