I’m looking into the best way to structure a Qualified Opportunity Zone (QOZ) Fund and a Qualified Opportunity Zone Business (QOZB) for ground-up construction and land entitlement in Columbus, Ohio for hotel and multifamily development.

It is the cost of doing business.

Additionally, the rental arbitrage strategy is not investing, its operating a business.... an extremely risky business.

I have watched her grow her business since the beginning stages.

Many people who own rentals and are already self managing them will set up a pm biz to be able to adopt a Solo 401k.

However, they let me go in July 2023, so I’m focusing on growing my real estate business.

Generally larger commercial properties and shopping centers are easier to classify with hard and fast rules, but to the points above the residential areas really move very quickly and have way more nuance than most people care to admit.zip codes are generally way too large for my liking at least in my market to provide any kind of insights other than macro level economics but even then highways or rivers that cut through a zip code can end up with totally different trade areas.we can get pretty granular with cellphone data and with grocery center data to understand the trade areas and their true boundaries, but that kind of data pull is generally only cost effective for investors doing larger scale projects or developments, and honestly we still just end up getting on the ground and feeling it out, so I generally tell people that the money is better spent on a plane ticket and weekend trip in the area you are looking rather than any kind of "trade area" level data studies.and generally B class in 1 area means something different than another. 

There are some people that get lucky and earn cash quickly, but they generally hide the fact that it was pure luck or how much work was involved.

Real Estate is a belly to belly business.

I acquired a residential property when I purchased my business.
