Three Layers of Tax Advantage — Stacked

Layer 01 · Deferral

Immediate Capital Gains Deferral — Starting Day 1

Sell any appreciated asset — stocks, real estate, a business, RSUs — and invest the gain portion into Emerald Park within 180 days. Your entire capital gains tax bill is deferred immediately. You pay nothing to the IRS today. That deferred tax amount stays invested and working for you inside the fund.

Example: $500K capital gain = $100K+ tax deferred and reinvested

Layer 02 · Annual shelter

Annual K-1 Depreciation — Reduces Your Tax Bill Every Year

As a limited partner in a real estate project, you receive K-1 pass-through depreciation annually. This non-cash deduction offsets your taxable income — whether that's W-2 salary, business income, or other passive income. High earners in the 37% bracket can shelter tens of thousands of dollars in income each year simply by holding this investment.

A $250K investment can generate $15K–$40K in annual K-1 deductions

Layer 03 · Exit

Zero Capital Gains Tax on Exit — After 10 Years

If you hold your Emerald Park investment for 10 years, 100% of the gains generated by the fund are completely exempt from capital gains tax. On a $250K investment projecting a 6.0x equity multiple, that means $1.2M+ in distributions — none of which is subject to federal capital gains tax. This is the single most powerful wealth-building feature of the QOZ program.

6.0x equity multiple + 0% exit tax = the most tax-efficient return in real estate

Invest Through Your Solo 401(k), SD IRA, or EQRP

Emerald Park accepts investment from self-directed retirement accounts, making this one of the rare opportunities that lets your tax-sheltered retirement savings earn institutional-grade real estate returns.

Who This Is Perfect For

  • Business owners with Solo 401(k) accounts
  • Self-employed professionals with SD IRAs
  • Investors who have rolled over a 401(k) into a self-directed account
  • Anyone using an EQRP (Enhanced Qualified Retirement Plan)
  • Investors seeking passive income inside tax-sheltered accounts

Accepted Funding Sources

  • Cash
  • Traditional or Roth IRA
  • Solo 401(k)
  • EQRP (Enhanced Qualified Retirement Plan)
  • Combination of the above

Investing through a Solo 401(k) or SD IRA means your distributions compound tax-deferred (or tax-free in a Roth), compounding the already-exceptional 27%+ IRR. Consult your retirement account custodian and tax advisor for eligibility specifics.
