@Jacob Carter , they are mutually exclusive in my opinion.

Luxery rentals in exclusive resort areas, where short-term renters typically drive up in a Lamborghini and wearing enough diamonds to blind a person v. 3/2/2 brick on slab in a subdivision rented to a blue-collar Joe. 

I'm exclusively in North Texas.

From what I understand here are some key benefits of the Opportunity Zones: - Permanent gain exclusion on the appreciation of investments in Opportunity Zones - Deferral and reduction of capital gains used to invest in Opportunity Zones.

Brentwood is a very nice and exclusive part of L.A though. 

@Jason Ma I'm not sure this answers your question but I would recommend looking at the growth of the university.I invest almost exclusively in student rentals in Columbia, SC and the University of South Carolina is the primary driver of activity in the downtown market.

@Mike MadejaFocus exclusively on DuPage.

A good real estate agent who works exclusively (or almost exclusively) with investors and is not squeamish about presenting "investor" offers, which may range from all cash to very creative :-)2.

HOWEVER There is a small tax payer exclusion that allows deduction of up to $25,000 annually of losses if you're under a certain AGI. 

In the sale of a REO in the mls, not on an auction site, yes owner occupants have an exclusive period in many/most cases.
