Opportunity Zones 101   What are they? Where are they? Why are they important? How can they save real estate investors money? Listen in as special guest, Ashley Tison shares the power of Opportunity Zones to generate positive social impact alongside risk-adjusted returns.   Opportunity Zones are designated areas in the United States where real estate investments can qualify for tax incentives under the Opportunity Zone program. These areas are typically economically distressed and low-income communities, and the goal of the program is to encourage investment and economic development in these areas. Investors who invest in Opportunity Zones can receive tax benefits, including deferral of capital gains taxes, reduction of those taxes if the investment is held for a certain period of time, and elimination of capital gains taxes on any profits earned from the investment. The program was created as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, and it is intended to promote long-term investment and economic growth in underserved communities.   Ashley Tison (magna cum laude University of North Carolina Charlotte and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Law) is a practicing attorney and experienced entrepreneur responsible for the founding and growth of numerous enterprises across a wide array of industries.
