Opportunity Zone Investment

Mark and Mat,

I love your show. Thank you for your passion and your content.

Regarding the 10 year tax free hold on investments in an opportunity zone, does the initial equity infusion only come from deferred capital gains? Said another way, must an investor have capital gains to defer and place in a fund or can he or she invest in this fund and take advantage of the 10 year tax free capital gains using money set aside for investing that did not stem from a capital gain event? Thank you for slugging out this one.
