Show Notes

Here's why 2026 is a pivotal year for Opportunity Zones, as the program transitions from OZ 1.0 to the new OZ 2.0 framework. Jimmy breaks down which tax benefits still apply through the end of 2026, what changes under OZ 2.0, and why 2026 serves as a bridge year for investors and fund managers. Plus, key 2026 dates, the timing of new Opportunity Zone designations, the return of basis step-ups under OZ 2.0, enhanced rural incentives, and the overlap period when both OZ maps are in effect.
