Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” Just Shook Real Estate—Here’s What It Means for Investors

In this episode of What Keeps You Awake.TV, host David Hooser welcomes back Zach Haptonstall, CEO & co-founder of Rise48 Equity, to break down the newly passed “Big Beautiful Bill” and its sweeping tax implications for real estate investors. From bonus depreciation to 1031 exchanges, Zach explains what the legislation means for owners, operators, and everyday investors.

🎯 Inside This Episode:
• 100% bonus depreciation restored (through 2029): how investors can offset active income with accelerated first-year write-offs
• SALT deduction cap raised: from $10K → $40K for high-tax states (CA, IL, NY)
• 1031 exchanges preserved: why bipartisan support keeps this wealth-building tool alive
• Primary residence gains exclusions: $250K (single) / $500K (married) still tax-free after 2 of 5 years of ownership
• Practical examples: Zach’s own house flips, tax-free gains, and timing advantages
• What it all means for multifamily investors and why the next 24–36 months look optimistic despite interest rate challenges
