Choosing Qualified Opportunity Zone Funds in 2023

Thanks to the multiple tax benefits offered by the US government, opportunity zone funds have received widespread attention amongst investors. Since its inception in 2017, qualified opportunity zones (QOZ funds or QOFs) have raised an estimated $75 billion in capital through its 219 plus available qualified opportunity zone funds.

While the tax savings associated with investing in qualified opportunity zone funds (QOFs) are appealing, choosing the right qualified opportunity investment funds is challenging for many investors. If you are new to the world of QOZ funds, then you can read our articles on qualified opportunity zone funds to learn more about this unique investment vehicle.

Qualified Opportunity Fund Investments

One of the upsides to investing in qualified opportunity funds (QOFs) is investment portfolio diversification. Today, qualified opportunity fund investments can invest in virtually any ‘qualifying investment,’ which may include tangible property, machinery, or businesses. However, there is a catch, 50% or more of the QOF income MUST be generated from activities within the opportunity zone.

In recent times, it is common for the best-qualified opportunity funds to invest in commercial and residential real estate due to their high liquidity and appreciation numbers. Below are some examples of OZ investments that the best-qualified opportunity funds are making:

• Upgrading and development of vacant homes for the use of single-family rental homes.
• Redevelopment of abandoned properties for residential use, such as affordable housing, senior living, workforce housing, office space, retail, or hospitality.
• Environmental or energy products such as water, utility, solar, or wind power, and urban or regenerative farming.
• Brand new construction projects such as state of the art Life Sciences buildings, multi-family and mixed use.
