But under the new TCJA (Tax Reform) there is opportunity to roll gains from stock into what is called “designated opportunity zones.”

Would like to understand, how you will look at opportunities.

@Joe VilleneuveI was under the assumption that by studying my local markets, I would be better equipped to make a sound investment decision should the opportunity arise.

If some opportunities are real and others are scams, how does one tell the difference?

If you can find houses with weed growing through the walls like I buy, there is more opportunity cuz most people get scared off ;)

You may be able to get the current tenants to do a lease option, where they basically give you a deposit for the opportunity to buy the house in the future.

Control the process and create systems, something it took us a long time to figure out.If everyone knew how amazing of an opportunity real estate if for wealth creation, tax benefits and lifestyle, everyone would be doing it.

@Andrew NealHere is something I learned and am looking to implement once the opportunity presents itself:Create an LLC and have the LLC lend you a mortgage on the property you are receiving.

And have the IRA company evaluate the new investment opportunity when it comes up?

Hey everyone, hope I covered the majority of my situation up front...Have an opportunity to purchase a mobile home park in WV that isnt too rural.
