The election season has wrapped, and with President Trump in office once again, real estate investors are looking ahead to see how his administration might impact the industry. In a recent podcast, our co-founders Jim and Chris break down what a Trump presidency could mean for real estate, highlighting several factors that may offer exciting opportunities for investors.
Pro-Real Estate Policies and Incentives
President Trump has a long-standing interest in real estate, both personally and in policy, and has consistently backed initiatives to strengthen the housing market. His administration is expected to continue this support, particularly in affordable housing. For real estate investors, these initiatives could open new doors for growth as government-backed incentives may support both private and commercial development projects.
Investor-Friendly Tax and Regulation Environment
One key advantage for investors under a Trump administration is a likely opposition to certain regulations, such as national rent control or heightened tenant laws. Under his administration, proposed tenant protections that could lengthen eviction periods or introduce strict rent controls are not anticipated to move forward. This hands-off approach helps maintain a favorable environment for investors by allowing them flexibility in managing their properties and adjusting rents based on market conditions.
Additionally, a renewed focus on accelerated depreciation rules could prove advantageous. Depreciation has been a vital tool for investors, helping to manage taxable income. While discussions around these rules continue, Trump’s policies are expected to support the status quo or potentially expand these investor benefits.
Rate Cuts on the Horizon
Another promising development for investors could be interest rate cuts. Trump’s administration has expressed an interest in pushing the Federal Reserve to lower rates, with projections of four to six cuts over the coming year. This action would stimulate the housing market and make borrowing more affordable, benefitting not only individual buyers but also institutional investors who leverage financing.
