Effectively, ask a professional. 

My partner and I are under contract to buy an apartment complex and it happens to be in an opportunity Zone we didn't even know it when we went under contract for the apartment complex and some nearby a couple of other complexes that we have and this one just happens to be in an opportunity Zone doesn't even appear to be a rhyme or reason as to why it's in an opportunity Zone. that being said it's not a redevelopment project and we're not going to be able to take advantage of the tax credit because there's no way that we can put a hundred percent additional Capital into this particular project but what it did is it got us thinking there might be another property nearby that does need that kind of redevelopment and so now we're actively seeking other properties in that same area that will help us build our existing portfolio and potentially get significant capital gains tax deductions at the same time.

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