A 5 year Treasury bill is yielding what, 2%? 

I structured this deal using the new Federal Opportunity Zone program, a Treasury tax incentive program for investors to re-invest their capital gains into qualified low income/distressed community.

Mortgages are 5% now and Us treasuries yield over 3%, anyone who doesn't understand what those are and how treasuries affect all assets has no business discussing home valuations.An appraisal means nothing, I had to get an appraisal to insure my exotic car a few months I, I wanted a $140k valuation, which is what I paid, they gave me $200k, how/what/why I don't know and I don't care.

I stopped by Treasury offices at the Webb Building a few days ago.

I'm looking at a small medical office property (~$500k pp) in Osage Beach, MO and and seeking a small local bank that uses the treasury as a benchmark, or really anything but WSJ prime.

Oh, 2 other sources I forgot about...https://www.treasury.gov/auctions/treasury/rp/Click "Upcoming Auctions"and https://gsaauctions.gov/gsaauctions/gsaauctions/Scroll down to "Real Estate"...if you can resist all the other cool stuff. 

They are a great resource for updates on state and Federal legislation, IRS and Treasury Rulings, and Court Decisions.The FEA has asked the Federal Trade Commission to govern QIs but the commission declined stating that burden of oversight exceeded the benefits.You are right, it is extremely important to choose a reliable QI.

Keeping in mind that any fund that gets established has rules as to how much of the fund has to be spent, where spent at, who invested, how much invested, and the fund registered with Dept. of Treasury via the IRS self certification form.

Estimates ranges from Treasury Secretary Mnuchin’s 10 to 12 weeks to New York Governor Cuomo’s “4, 6, 9 months.”

I thought a very interesting point was that to many investors we are looking for a 10 CAP or better but many of these other companies are happy to get lower CAPS because treasuries and CD's are paying out next to nothing.There is also 3 trillion worth of commercial debt maturing between now and 2018 which is very telling.It will be very interesting over the next decade for sure.
