How Opportunity Zones Are Driving Development in 2026

In this episode of The Business of Real Estate with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore how Opportunity Zones have evolved since their creation in the 2017 tax bill. With the 2026 deadline for capital gains deferral looming, they examine a specific case: a mixed-use development in a low-income Atlanta neighborhood that transformed a vacant lot into 200 affordable units plus retail. They break down the tax mechanics, the criticism around gentrification, and whether the program has actually delivered on its promise. If you're an investor considering a Qualified Opportunity Fund, this is the episode you need to hear. #OpportunityZones #RealEstateInvesting #TaxIncentives #Atlanta #AffordableHousing #Gentrification #QualifiedOpportunityFund #CapitalGains #MixedUse #EconomicDevelopment #Business #Podcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #RealEstate #UrbanRevitalization #TaxStrategy #CommunityImpact Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
