Interview with Ashley Tison
Ashley Tison is an Opportunity Zone Sherpa - an attorney and entrepreneur focused on helping real-estate investors reduce their tax liability.
Essentially, Opportunity Zones are places in the U.S. where over 30 million people live and work. If you hold an investment in some of these locations, you can pay no tax on your returns, which could lead to a 30-40% increase in your annual return.
As co-founder of OZPros.com, they’ve helped over 400+ real-estate clients save hundreds of thousands, sometimes even millions of tax.
Some topics Ashley discusses during the podcast include:
1. Where you should deploy capital to maximize your tax benefits.
2. The benefit of investing in an OZ and its positive social and economic impact on local communities.
3. Why Opportunity Zones can be a pretty big barrier to entry for most investors and how to approach it most effectively.
To get a feel for Ashley, here’s an interview he did with the ‘Centre Stage’ Podcast (https://podcasts.apple.com/mx/podcast/035-selling-your-business-tax-free-with-ashley-tison/id1544836403?i=1000533982216&l=en)
