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?

No real estate needed.  

@Allan Guerra, at least in Ohio, you cannot receive a commission based on the purchase price of a property without being a licensed real estate agent.  

You're supposed to have a license in every state if you are representing either a buyer or a seller in a real estate transaction, or acting as an intermediary in the sale of real estate.

Income-based valuation only comes into to play once you get into commercial property (5 units and up). 

It gets you entry into real estate investing and can be a viable path in an expensive market.

Quote from @Kaushik Sarkar: Hi,I am looking to invest first time with a turnkey developer,  who is buying the land and building a multi unit commercial retail center and some apartments.

Given your mobility for duty posts you can really ramp up your real estate portfolio while serving.Every time they got stationed somewhere they would purchase a property to live in using their VA and house hack.
