How do I attract capital for a project/business in an Opportunity Zone
You need to create an investment vehicle that can properly pool investor capital so they can invest directly into your project or your business. The vehicle must be compliant with securities laws applicable to private placements.
Can I create an investment portfolio of multiple investments in Opportunity Zones that is tax efficient and maximizes my return from these investments over the minimum 10 year holding period.
Yes. Investors can structure their investment entity in a manner that creates long-term tax-efficiency and that mitigates the risks of negative tax consequences from unanticipated future changes to the law and flow through income potentially taxed at incremental tax rates that can reach 54% in some states.
Is there a mechanism to reduce my taxes on incremental income from the underlying Opportunity Zone investments.
Yes. We can walk you through this.

Sam formed JMP OppZone Services to provide a full suite of support services for Opportunity Zone investors and developers/entrepreneurs. JMP is primarily focused on projects in second tier and tertiary markets where jobs, housing and economic development are needed. These projects provide investors the opportunity to select Opportunity Zone investments achieving their desired social and investment objectives. There are attractive opportunities in these markets that will have significant impact in the communities that they serve. Most of our projects are too small to attract the large pools of capital being accumulated by real estate focused funds. More importantly, investors can pursue unique, long-term growth opportunities that achieve the primary objective of the law that created the concept of Opportunity Zones. Many of these communities also offer additional tax and investment incentives that improve the return prospects for these projects.
