Opportunity Zone Funds vs. 1031 Exchanges
One of the biggest advantages that we feel a QOZ fund offers is the need to only re-invest the gains from the sale of a property. Compared to a 1031 where both gains and cost base needs to be re-invested. The gain deferred can also be any one of the following as well:*
- Short-term or Long-term capital gains
- Unrecaptured Section 1250 gains.
- Collectible gains
- Gains from other Securities
- Net Section 1231 gains
- Capital gain net income IRC sec. 1256 contracts. *(Source: EisnerAmper-QOF 2019)
Min. holding requirements need to be met however to take advantage of these benefits.
See the below chart for more differences between a 1031 and investing in a QOZ.
