In this episode, Craig McGrouther, Sam Morris and I break down Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" and its massive implications for real estate investors. The return of 100% bonus depreciation is a game-changer, allowing investors to front-load tax benefits in year one of ownership. We discuss how wage growth has outpaced rent growth for 31 consecutive months (per Jay Parsons), creating a healthier rent-to-income ratio and setting up potential for future rent increases as new supply dwindles.
We also address recent Houston foreclosure headlines, explaining how their focus on workforce housing in desirable locations differs fundamentally from distressed investment strategies. Key tax updates include no tax on tips (first $25K), overtime tax deductions, increased standard deductions, and permanent QBI benefits. For investors, these changes make cash-flowing real estate even more compelling versus taxable debt investments.
