    Only rollover capital gains qualify for the OP Zone tax incentives.

    Do it, but you only get credit for the basis. Balance is considered a non-qualifying investment.

    It's OK to do so, but the property itself cannot qualify as QOZBP, and if there's any built-in gain, the property portion of the contribution is treated as a mixed investment. I generally do not recommend that clients do this unless there is no other choice.

    An investor may contribute property, but in general, the property will not be considered QOZP and therefore may affect the fund's 90% test.
