I've been pitching 50/50 equity splits to people in my sphere and showing them all of my previous project financials and just haven't gotten anywhere yet. 

The probation is to see if you are with the “in crowd” and know “wealthy” people so THEY can take advantage of your sphere of influence.

OZ refers not to your condo but to what you would do with the proceeds from its sale.

But then you can 1031 or OZ those gains, I still firmly believe in the tax benefits...

He is specifically looking for a mixed-use property in Louisville, KY to house a small business he owns and rent out the livable areas.Problem: I know where the OZs are in Louisville just by eyeballing a map, but I was looking on ListSource and could not find a filter for Opportunity Zones.Question: Is there a property aggregator site (like ListSource) that allows you to filter only properties that are in Opportunity Zones?

One piece of advice is to tell your sphere of influence you're looking to purchase investment property.

We dabbled back in the days of $7/oz silver etc & actually sold it off to buy more properties.

So through my sphere of influence, I had a buyer come to me and tell me that he is looking to make his first home purchase. 

OZ Funds also have a  requirement to invest within 180 days of realizing the gain, but the IRS has extended the deadline this year through 12/31/20 due to Covid. 

@Greg Dickerson I am trying but having difficulty with lead gen and my sphere of influence is too young :/
