?? Opportunity Zone Expansion on the Horizon The House just passed a budget bill that includes $4.5 trillion in tax cuts over the next decade, paving the way for an Opportunity Zone (OZ) program extension. With $48 billion already invested and 780,000 jobs created, this move signals ongoing support for economic revitalization in distressed communities. Ashley Tison, OZ expert and founder of OZPros, breaks it down: "This is a pivotal step forward. Opportunity Zones have already transformed communities and unlocked incredible tax benefits for investors. An extension means more time to deploy capital strategically and continue doing well by doing good." President Trump called it a "Big First Step Win," reinforcing the momentum for OZ expansion. If you're an investor, real estate professional, or financial advisor, now is the time to stay ready and position yourself for the next wave of OZ enhancements. ?? More flexibility ?? More transparency ?? More tax savings This is your signal to double down on OZs and maximize both impact and financial returns. Stay informed, stay ahead.

Why Operating a Business in an Opportunity Zone is a Game-Changer Most assume Opportunity Zones (OZs) are just for real estate. That assumption leaves massive tax advantages on the table. Launching or scaling an operating business inside an OZ is the real opportunity. This strategy provides long-term, tax-free growth and investor appeal when structured correctly. How It Works ?100% Tax-Free Growth – A Qualified Opportunity Zone Business (QOZB) allows capital gains reinvestment. After 10 years, all appreciation is tax-free. ?Investor Magnet – Investors actively seek tax-advantaged opportunities. A QOZB attracts capital while fueling business growth. ?No Depreciation Recapture – Unlike traditional exits, a QOZB eliminates depreciation recapture after 10 years. ?Stacked Tax Benefits – Combine OZ incentives with the Section 1202 QSBS exemption to eliminate up to $10M in capital gains taxes after five years. ?Tax-Free Exit – Selling after 10 years means zero capital gains tax on appreciation.
