Most agents that start with a smaller sphere of influence, work a "side" hustle!!

Unfortunately the OZ rules do not allow a related party transaction where you purchase the OZ property now without an eligible gain, either in your name or with an LLC controlled by you, and then later acquire it from yourself with an eligible gain in a QOF entity.

The idea that my life can be affected so easily by things outside of my control serves as motivation to make the most out of what is inside my sphere of control.

I have established myself as the multi-family investor in my local area and in my sphere of influence.

1) no2) noJust buying a property in a OZ doesn’t mean anything.

Dorothy, in The Wizard of OZ said, "there is no place like home".

Well, let's just say out of this World-A Sphere, we were ready and waiting to sell, and here's why.

Friends, family members, co-workers (current and past), neighbors, and anyone else in your sphere of influence from social and spiritual gatherings.2.

The mentality is "Ban the 46 OZ soda at the convenience store because people can't control themselves and they are too fat." 

In my first year I was able to leverage my Sphere of Influence to close 4 transactions, 2 on the buyers and 2 on the sellers side.
