How The Opportunity Zone Legislation Can Help Maximize Tax Benefits with Nino Balduzzi (Ep. 104)

How can the opportunity zone legislation help you maximize your tax benefits? Investors can defer capital gains with opportunity zones.

In this episode, Peter Raskin speaks with Nino Balduzzi of Griffin Capital about the Opportunity Zone legislation, an investment strategy that incentivizes real estate development in specific census tracks across the country by allowing investors to defer capital gains and potentially receive tax-free appreciation on investments. Nino explains that the legislation designates certain census tracks as Opportunity Zones, aimed at driving economic development in low-income communities. He discusses the benefits of the legislation, including deferral of capital gains and tax-free appreciation on investments held for ten years or more. They also discuss the different phases and timelines involved in investing in qualified opportunity zone funds.

Nino discusses:

  • His role at Griffin Capital
  • Who can benefit from this tax strategy
  • What an opportunity fund is, how this one was developed, and its advantages
  • What kind of properties are being developed
  • What an opportunity zone is for these real estate developments
  • The timeline of the different phases of investing in one of these properties
  • How long investors have to invest in these qualified opportunity zone funds
