@Guenevere F. you're going to need 20-25% down to get a mortgage.If you target $100k, that won't leave you any funds for closing cost, maintenance or emergency reserves.You could try targeting around $80k, but the $16k-$20k down payment would still not leave you with enough.If you buy under $80k, you're probably buying such a low-end property that it is unlikely to meet your performance expectations.

There are three safe harbors that businesses may use to meet the test.Half of the amount the business spent on services were for services performed in a QOZ.Necessary business functions and necessary tangible property was located in a QOZ.Half of the hours of service received by the business were performed in a QOZ.A business does not need to meet all three safe harbors to qualify.
