NAR pulls off a five-for-five win in Trump’s new tax bill

Splits and Caps Daily: Action for Agents
July 2, 2025
📈 Market Move:
Deductions, Deals & DC Drama
The Senate passed Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” — a sweeping tax package that’s basically a real estate lobbyist’s dream journal brought to life.
Here’s the TL;DR:
NAR and NAHB are fist-bumping hard — they scored wins on everything from mortgage interest deduction permanence to SALT cap increases.
JD Vance broke the tie in a razor-thin 51-50 vote (no Dems voted yes).
The bill’s on its way to the House, where Republicans want it on Trump’s desk by July 4 — because nothing says “freedom” like locking in some tax breaks.
What’s in it for agents and brokers?
✅ Lower individual tax rates — permanently
✅ Qualified business income deduction — here to stay
✅ Bigger SALT caps and deductions for business owners
✅ Mortgage interest deduction — locked in for good
✅ Bonus goodies for builders and low-income housing advocates
NAR’s message? “Congress hears us because we live in every ZIP code.”
Translation: The real estate industry still runs deep, wide, and loud in Washington.
Bottom line: Whether you love or hate the politics, this bill is a power play for property pros. If it clears the House, expect a more agent-friendly tax landscape — just in time for fireworks.

📚 Book Recommendation:
“Unstoppable” by Ben Angel—Let me put you on to a book that’s not just another “rah rah” motivation fluff piece. Unstoppable by Ben Angel is what happens when you take a biohacker, a burnout, and a bulldozer and blend them into one dude determined to figure out why success sometimes feels impossible — even when you're doing everything "right."
This isn't just mindset talk. Ben literally straps on brain monitors, alters his gut biome, and experiments with nootropics to go from drained and depressed to full-throttle focused.
The core idea? Your biology might be blocking your ambition.
Fix that, and you're not just productive — you're unstoppable.
If you ever feel like you’re trying to sprint through quicksand, this book is the shovel. Dig into it. Optimize your engine — not just your calendar.
The best time to start was yesterday. The second best is five minutes ago.
