Search for Qualified Opportunity Zones in MMT Tax

Did you know you can easily search for Opportunity Zones in MMT Tax?

What is an Opportunity Zone?  

In 2017, Opportunity Zones were added to the tax code by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to help drive economic growth through long-term investments in distressed communities. These areas present opportunities for real estate investment and development by offering tax incentives to investors. Investors, such as businesses, developers and financial institutions that invest in targeted areas can defer capital gains taxes through investments in federally established Opportunity Funds.

Quick Steps to Finding Opportunity Zones in MMT Tax

You can search for Opportunity Zones under any of the Ownership searches.

Once you have selected your type of search and the county you want to search, Opportunity Zones can be found under the Show/Hide Advanced Options tab.

Click on the drop-down menu and the Opportunity Zones available in the Census Tracts for that county will be displayed. The number of parcels in each Opportunity Zone is also listed. 

Once you perform your search and obtain your results, you can view the Opportunity Zones on the map. Keep in mind that if your results exceed the 5,000 record limit, only the Opportunity Zones that fall within that limit will be displayed.  If your results exceed the 5,000 record limit, we suggest that you perform separate searches by choosing zones that will total less than 5,000 records.

If you would like to direct mail to any of the Opportunity Zone properties, select the properties and print out the mailing labels.

New Field Coming in Flexmls

On Thursday, September 5th, you will see a new "school field" added to all property types (with the exception of Commercial) in Flexmls entitled Intermediate Schools.  At this time, Duval County is the only school district we have encountered with Intermediate Schools but of course, this could change.  Currently, there are only 3 Intermediate Schools in Duval County ranging from grades 3-5 or 3-6. This new field will not be "required" but will help clarify all of the school options for these areas, where implemented.

If you have any questions, please contact Member Services at 904-394-9494 x1603.

A Few Tips from NewHomeSource to Help Agents Get More Business

Resize Columns in Search Results & Print Preview In Flexmls

We’re making it easier to adjust your view of search results in Flexmls Web, both on-screen and on the printed page. Starting August 15, you’ll be able to click and drag to resize columns to your heart’s content.

When Will It Change
These updates will be available on August 15, 2019.

Who Will Benefit
All users who use search results in Flexmls Web can take advantage of this change.

What Will Change
Column widths in search results were previously not adjustable. With this change, you can modify the width of any column in the one-line and normal views on the List tab of search results. Click on a column separator in the header and drag the double arrow to adjust the width.

You can also adjust columns to better fit on the page when printing. To open the print preview, click the Print button on the search results page and then click Preview. Adjust the column widths just like on the search results page, by clicking a column separator and dragging the double arrow. Column headings will wrap to the next line automatically as you make columns smaller.

Note: Column sizes on the search results page are independent of column sizes in the print preview. Resizing one does not resize the other. Adjust columns on the search results page for the best on-screen view and adjust columns on the print preview page for optimal printing.

Your adjusted column sizes are saved automatically. To reset column sizes to the browser default, click the Reset Columns link.

Why Are We Making These Changes
You told us that resizable columns were an important missing feature in search results. We’re making these changes in response to that feedback.

Flexmls - Rooms Tab Update

Because the Length and the Width fields are now numeric, you will need to enter the data as decimals. Any data that cannot stay in the numeric fields when Flexmls converts the listings will show up in Room Remarks so it doesn't get lost.
