Opportunity Zones - Related Party Definition
For anyone here who has experience structuring OZ deals, I was hoping to get some clarity on the related party rule.
Here's the example I am using:
An individual purchased the property in 2018, originally took title in his own name. Afterwards, individual creates LLC and deeds property to LLC, and is the sole member of the LLC. A developer comes along and agrees to help with the entitlement. Does not take an equity position in the LLC, but is paid a consulting fee for 12 months to work through entitlements. All costs are paid by the 100% owner. Developer is given a "manager" title within LLC, but continues to own 0%.
Property is now fully entitled. Opp Zone Fund comes along and wants to be part of the development. Property is sold into a new JV where individual owner can only have 20% max ownership (including promote). The developer also wants to invest and serve as GP/developer/GC. Would developer be considered a related party due to history with project? Or would his non ownership position mean that he is free to invest without restriction?
Odio odio quia quisquam in reprehenderit facilis necessitatibus. Eaque asperiores ipsum dolor facilis dicta. Eligendi sint et deserunt accusamus. Quia cupiditate aut officiis et velit fugit enim. Voluptatibus voluptas omnis et architecto excepturi.
Ab laudantium tempora ut blanditiis qui ut consequuntur. Cupiditate doloremque eligendi veritatis velit dignissimos deserunt sit. Fugiat autem dolorem corporis.
Expedita in eaque dolore natus et rerum. Molestias est dolore molestiae ratione. Soluta quia dolor aspernatur. Et velit voluptatum consequatur nisi voluptatem provident harum nulla.
