Are you facing a significant capital gain but looking for ways to potentially reduce the tax burden? Tune into this episode to learn about a bipartisan initiative that aims to stimulate economic growth in distressed communities and provide tax incentives to investors that meet certain requirements.

In this intriguing episode, host Jim McGovern invites Ray DeSantis, Managing Director of Capital Markets at Redbrick LMD, to unpack the growing significance of Qualified Opportunity Zones, or QOZs.
