The IRS Opportunity Zone Substantial Improvement Rule
It is my understanding substantial improvement to the Opportunity Zone property during the 30 months after purchase, is required under the 2018 legislation. The dollar amount of the substantial improvement will be determined by placing a value to the land and a value to the building on the property.
One may easily reach the conclusion in certain cases, the value given to Kauai oceanfront land is the significant portion of the purchase price, based on historical real estate data. Therefore the required substantial improvement may be determined to be significantly lower with these special Opportunity Fund purchases. And, it is my understanding the Opportunity Zone rules will be applied on a case by case basis.
