If you're investing in real estate (or thinking about it), this is something you’ll want to pay attention to.

Congress just passed what's being called the "One Big Beautiful Bill" — and for real estate investors, it's a total game-changer.

This isn’t just another bill with vague promises. It brings real, tangible benefits that could completely reshape how you invest, build wealth, and plan for the long term.

Let’s break it down.

1. 100% Bonus Depreciation Is Back — And It’s Here to Stay

Yes, you read that right. Full bonus depreciation has been restored permanently.

You can now deduct the entire cost of qualifying real estate assets in the first year—creating powerful cash flow and turning tight deals into profitable ones.

This is one of the most investor-friendly tax moves we’ve seen in years.

2. 1031 Exchanges and Carried Interest Are Safe

Some feared these tools might disappear. They didn’t.

1031 exchanges and carried interest rules remain protected under the new law, allowing investors to continue deferring capital gains and building wealth across multiple deals without heavy tax penalties.

3. QBI Deduction Made Permanent (With Higher Income Limits)

The Qualified Business Income (QBI) deduction is now permanent — and thresholds have been raised.

That means pass-through entity owners can deduct 20% of their income permanently, even at higher earnings levels. More tax savings, more retained income.

4. Opportunity Zones Are Now Permanent — With New Perks

Opportunity Zones are sticking around, and they’ve been improved.

Designations now renew every 10 years, and full capital gains exclusions still apply for long-term investors (10+ years). Plus, rural zones now come with added incentives, opening up new growth markets.

5. Estate and Gift Tax Exemption Increased

Starting in 2026, the estate and gift tax exemption will increase to $30 million per couple, adjusted for inflation.

That means more wealth passed on, tax-free, for families thinking about legacy and long-term planning.

6. SALT Deduction Cap Raised to $40,000

For investors in high-tax states like New York, California, and New Jersey, the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction cap has been increased from $10,000 to $40,000.

That’s a major boost to your after-tax income — and a long-awaited fix for many.

Why This Matters

Most tax policy changes create complexity. This one does the opposite.

The "One Big Beautiful Bill" gives investors what we’ve been needing: clarity, consistency, and powerful tools for long-term planning.

Whether you're:

• Syndicating deals

• Buying and holding

• Developing ground-up

• Scaling your portfolio

This law creates a rare, generational window to optimize your strategy and build real wealth.
