I am a recent college graduate who worked in finance immediately after college, but knew that real estate was the path I wanted to eventually go down.

I’m new to real estate investing and am in the process of trying to acquire my first property.  

There comes a point where having a real estate-savvy tax preparer outweighs your time learning a new software. 

Then you can read a more in-depth book like The Book On Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner or The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Spencer Strauss.2.

I’m based in Atlanta, GA, and currently exploring passive real estate opportunities in the area.

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?

Hey @Scott Trench unfortunately real estate losses (active or passive) will not offset portfolio income from stock sale gains. 

That kind of stability can make long-term real estate investments much more predictable.
