After you've done some strategic improvements and built the tenant stability, you can sell the property and roll the equity into another with no out-of-pocket down payment.

@Anthony JankeWelcome to Bigger Pockets.

Hey @Nicolas A Botello Jr, you just became a bigger person in real estate investing by signing up on Bigger Pockets!

If sublet doesn't buy, you pocket difference in option money and continuing leasing it out.From the owner's standpoint, they will get the rent money they can get.

They were an elderly couple that wanted to get out of the landlord game and move to the beach.

Other than that attend your local REIA and once you get a property post it on Bigger Pockets. 

I got paid off you got the house.. and in those days you usually got 5 to 8 grand back in cash out... now that was too aggressive and when landlords turned the keys back in in 08 to 2012 it was usually those with no TRUE skin in the game..

In general I agree that you shouldn't take a essentially risky investment and make it just for the tax benefits but some of these opportunities zones are in up-and-coming areas where you might want to invest anyway and if you're trying to decide between investing in an area that's up and coming in in an opportunity Zone and one that's up and coming and not in an opportunity Zone it would be crazy not to choose the one that's in the opportunity Zone particularly if you have some capital gains that you want to defer. the major benefit of opportunities on is that you can take capital gains from any investment class capital gains from a stock sale for example and use them to buy a business or real estate in an opportunity Zone provided you follow the rules and put it into an opportunity Zone fund and all that and then you can defer those games for up to 10 years but even more important part is if you do defer them for 10 years any games that you gained from the investment in the opportunity zone are 100% tax free.

Everyone can talk a big game but it comes down to execution. 

Technically it doesn't really change the game much.
