ApexStone Capital | Strategic Multifamily Investments for Long-Term Growth
As multifamily real estate investors, we’re always on the lookout for new opportunities and policy changes that can shape our investment strategies. Well, folks, we’ve got exciting news! The One Big Beautiful Bill has officially passed and been signed into law, and it’s bringing with it some major benefits for multifamily investors like us. If you’ve been wondering how recent changes could impact your investments, here’s a breakdown of the bill and what it means for your portfolio.
One of the most significant changes in the new law is the permanent 100% bonus depreciation provision. This means that as a multifamily investor, you can continue to fully depreciate your properties in the first year, which means substantial tax savings right off the bat. In the past, we had to worry about the phase-out schedules, but now this tax benefit is here to stay, helping you put more cash flow in your pocket faster.
This change makes scaling your portfolio easier and faster, giving you more financial flexibility to reinvest in your next property. Bonus depreciation will continue to be a game-changer for those looking to grow their wealth through multifamily investments.
For those of us who want to make a social impact with our investments, the bill has increased funding for the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) by 12.5%. This boost means more affordable housing projects, creating more opportunities to provide safe, affordable living options while generating solid returns.
Affordable housing has always been in demand, and with this new boost, there will be even more opportunities to invest in properties that contribute to the community. For multifamily investors, this is a win-win: you can help meet the housing shortage while benefiting from long-term, stable returns.
We’ve all had to adapt to changes in tax laws, but the One Big Beautiful Bill provides much-needed certainty for multifamily investors. The bill ensures that crucial tax incentives, like the mortgage interest deduction and Section 1031 exchanges, will remain unchanged.
This stability is key for long-term investors who want to focus on growing their portfolios without the fear of sudden tax changes. You can rest easy knowing these tax-saving tools will be available to you as you continue to build wealth through multifamily real estate.
The bill also includes a permanent 20% deduction on net rental income for real estate investors under Section 199A. This is another significant win, as it allows you to reduce your tax burden on rental income, leading to more cash in hand to reinvest in future deals.
Whether you’re managing a few properties or an expansive portfolio, this deduction helps improve investment yields and lowers the effective tax rate on your rental income. The result? More profits to fuel your portfolio growth.
While the bill includes several tax provisions, it also includes measures to increase market stability. With the $5 trillion debt ceiling increase, there’s a renewed sense of confidence in the capital markets, which means continued access to financing. As multifamily investors, we rely on consistent access to capital to fund our deals, and this stability ensures we can continue to expand even in uncertain times.
In addition, the bill’s provisions help maintain liquidity in the market, further encouraging financing opportunities and making it easier for investors to secure the funds they need for new acquisitions.
These legislative changes are a win for multifamily investors, offering a mix of tax benefits, more opportunities for affordable housing projects, and long-term stability for your portfolio. With permanent tax incentives like 100% bonus depreciation and the continued support for 1031 exchanges, this bill ensures that multifamily real estate remains a strong investment class for years to come.
Now is the time to dive deeper into multifamily real estate. The recent changes make this asset class even more appealing for new and experienced investors alike. With these new provisions in place, multifamily real estate just got even more attractive. It’s time to take advantage of the market’s resilience and these new opportunities to grow your wealth.
