On the Opportunity Zone Expo Podcast, we have conversations with people who truly know the Opportunity
Zone market. From investors, fund managers and developers to tax specialists, politicians and attorneys,
our podcast will present the industry's most influential voices. If it involves Opportunity Zones, you'll hear about it here.
You'd think any broker or real estate agent worth their wages would know about Opportunity Zones. It is after all just about the biggest thing to come along in real estate in the last decade. Peter Valleau of SVN has a warning for investors though. He sits down to discuss the problem of ignorant brokers and many other issues with us.
As a rule, I don't host bankers here on The OZExpo Podcast. The reason is simple: in many ways, a bank is a bank is a bank. Yet I think we may have stumbled onto something different, something extraordinary. Dan Topple of Customers Bank embodies the spirit of the Opportunity Zone program. And he has the passion to help those who need it most, and the mandate and power of a private bank to get them that help.
Jay Soave of Cadence Capital Partners builds relationships with patient capital. That's the specific kind of capital the Opportunity Zone was designed to attract. But it takes a particular kind of personality to find, build and maintain those relationships. That's exactly the kind of person I found Jay Soave to be. He excels at finding, building and maintaining those relationships.
Brett Siglin knows at least eight different ways to build a capital stack for Opportunity Zone investing, and only one of them involves private capital. He shares his insights on this episode of The OZExpo Podcast.
Michael Sanders literally wrote the textbook used by law students studying tax law. His work has been cited in Supreme Court rulings. So when he talks about both dangers and opportunities in the Opportunity Zone market, his opinion is worth hearing.
Maria Rivera brings extraordinary energy to her work as a tax partner and director of the international business center at Kevane Grant Thornton. She gets more done in one day than most people do in a week. And she knows how to get investors the very best tax opportunities in Puerto Rico. Maria Rivera is our guest on this episode of The OZExpo Podcast.
