There are three in particular that are related to the return on real estate investments, and each has its own unique meaning and purpose.They include CoC, which stands for Cash-on-Cash Return, IRR, which is an abbreviation for Internal Rate of Return, and Average Annual Return, which is self-explanatory.

@David AndersonBeing able to defer the gain from putting it into a Qualified opportunity zone is not as simple as buying a property within the zone.Regarding finding the designated tracts, you can likely type into google "<insert county/state> qualified opportunity zone tracks"You likely want to work a tax professional who specializes in qualified opportunity zones to make sure you are following the book.Some of the steps include1) Funding the entity with capital gains within 180 days2) Self-designation as a QOF3) buying a property within a Qualified opportunity zone4) Rehab the property for atleast the cost of the building5) satisfy periodic asset testing6) satisfy holding period requirement7) etc etc etc

What are some of the best self discipline books out there?
