But Real Estate she had no interest in.  

I know that a QOF can invest directly in real estate, but I’m particularly interested in the QOZB structure, since it allows for active business operations and working capital flexibility.For those who have set up a QOZB:How did you structure it in relation to your QOF?

Build your network by joining local real estate investor meetups or online communities like BiggerPockets.

People pay a lot of money for advertising, so here is your chance to gain valuable "real estate" for free (or for the cost of a sign).

My dads portion of our building will be gifted to me in the will FYI.As a real estate agent, I see 5% as a reasonable market appreciation.
