Welcome back, Dreammakers, to Today in Mortgages! In this episode, hosts Michael and Richard discuss if the big bill is “beautiful” for housing. Today’s article from NationalMortgageProfessional.com is titled “President Trump signs big beautiful bill — Here’s what it means for mortgages and housing.” – The first thing that stuck out to us was the ability to deduct mortgage insurance fees from your taxes starting in 2026. – Secondly, low income tax credits have been expanded, which ensures the building of affordable housing. – And finally the SALT deduction cap has gone from $10,000 to $40,000. If you’re in a state with high state and local taxes that will help you. What we didn’t see in the bill is some tax credits for first-time homebuyers. But just because the federal government isn’t sponsoring programs, doesn’t mean state governments aren’t. Listen in as we discuss this and more!
