Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” Could Be a Game-Changer for Real Estate Investors

This week, the U.S. Senate passed one of the most significant tax-and-investment packages in recent memory—President Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill.” The 887-page legislation passed in a dramatic 51–50 vote, with Vice President JD Vance breaking the tie. The house approved the bill and Trump has signed into law.

While the headlines may focus on politics, buried in the fine print are some major victories for real estate investors. If you’re investing in (or considering) U.S. multifamily, value-add, or commercial property deals, here’s what you need to know—and how it aligns with the very opportunities Faris Capital Partners is launching now.

Key Wins for CRE Investors

❌ “Revenge Tax” Removed, SALT Cap Raised

Perhaps the most impactful move for international investors—especially Canadian LPs—is the removal of the proposed “revenge tax” on foreign capital. Originally slated to impose a 5–20% penalty on cross-border investment, the Senate version eliminates this provision entirely.

For Canadian investors in U.S. multifamily deals, this preserves access to high-performing opportunities without added tax drag or complexity.

Additionally, the SALT cap would be temporarily lifted to $40,000, improving tax treatment for high earners in higher-tax U.S. states.

.🏗 100% Bonus Depreciation Extended Through 2029

This single provision could unlock over $200 billion in tax savings by allowing investors in the U.S. to immediately deduct the full cost of improvements and equipment in the year they’re placed into service.

For value-add apartment strategies like ours, this means accelerated tax benefits for renovations, appliance upgrades, HVAC systems, and more—putting more money back into the hands of our U.S. investors.

🔁 1031 Like-Kind Exchanges Survive Intact

The real estate industry breathed a sigh of relief. The Senate bill keeps the 1031 exchange tool fully intact, allowing investors in the U.S. to defer capital gains by rolling proceeds from one property into another.

This not only helps with portfolio growth and repositioning, but also provides an efficient tax strategy—especially important for U.S. investors who plan to roll gains from one Faris deal into the next.

💡 Pass-Through Entity Enhancements

LLC and partnership investors in the U.S. would benefit from extended Qualified Business Income (QBI) deductions with a broader phase-in. That’s a potential savings of $40,000–$50,000 per $1 million of income, creating real value for pass-through investors in syndications.

🌍 Opportunity Zones Made Permanent

For years, investors approached Opportunity Zone projects with caution due to their expiration risk. That uncertainty is now gone. The program would gain permanent status in the U.S., with expanded eligibility criteria and clarity that could drive billions in long-term development into underserved areas.

The Big Picture: A Turning Point for CRE

After years of rising rates, economic uncertainty, and investor hesitation, this bill—if passed by the House—could create the foundation for a new wave of capital and confidence in the CRE space.

Tax-advantaged investing, depreciation flexibility, cross-border clarity, and stable exchange tools are exactly what real estate investors need to move off the sidelines and back into opportunity mode.

And that’s exactly where Faris Capital Partners is positioned.
