JMA Ventures, LLC Launches Opportunity Zones Website
SAN FRANCISCO, August 21, 2018 (Newswire.com) - San Francisco-based JMA Ventures, LLC (“JMA”), a real estate investment and development firm, today announced the launch of a new website, www.jmafund.com, dedicated to answering questions about recent legislation regarding tax-advantaged Qualified Opportunity Zones and providing information about JMA and its team. Qualified Opportunity Zones were recently designated by the governor of each state, and certified by the IRS, pursuant to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”). The Act provides that, subject to certain requirements, an investor may defer payment of capital gains taxes from the sale of an asset (such as real estate, stock, etc.) if such gains are invested into a Qualified Opportunity Zone. Further, the Act incentivizes long-term investment by providing a 15 percent step up in basis in the deferred capital gains and elimination of future capital gains taxes after certain holding periods. JMA recently formed an entity dedicated to investing in Qualified Opportunity Zones and will look to be a leader in the Opportunity Zone Space.
Regarding JMA’s leadership in the Qualified Opportunity Zone space, CEO Todd Chapman remarked: “Many groups are racing to the newly created Opportunity Zone space, but they lack a multi-decade, vertically-integrated firm to execute on projects. JMA is uniquely positioned to be a leader in the QOZ space because of its internal expertise and established track record managing and completing complicated investment and development projects. Given the strict guidelines for deployment of capital and timeline for construction imposed by the Act, an ability to execute will be critical to the success of any Qualified Opportunity Zone investment.”
