Inside the OZ Fund That Skips Development Risk (Episode 387)

About this episode

Michael Treiman discusses a unique Opportunity Zone fund that offers stabilized assets and cash flow without development risk.

Almost every Opportunity Zone investment is a development deal: two or three years of construction risk, lease-up risk, and financing risk stacked on top of the tax play. One fund is built to do the opposite, offering stabilized assets, cash flow from day one, and Opportunity Zone benefits without the development risk. Michael Treiman of Standard Asset Management and Investments (SAMI), joins Jimmy Atkinson to break down how that fund works, and how it also functions as rescue capital for OZ 1.0 developers facing today's cap rate expansion and financing gaps. Mike explains the mechanics behind the strategy, who's investing, and how it's already deploying capital on a seed asset in Washington DC.
