. :) Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Effectively, ask a professional. 

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.

It’s more working professionals, young couples, families or retirees.

Options above and beyond that are ACH, 3rd party platform like Rent Manager, or some thing like PayNearMe. 

As a RE professional you can deduct all the losses from the value add, which shelters all that income you get as a realtor! 

I will talk to professionals like a CPA about putting any systems in place, I just wanted to reach out here first to see what ideas people had.
