The U.S. just passed one of the most sweeping tax reforms in decades. “The One Big, Beautiful Bill” (OBBB) isn’t just political posturing - it’s a seismic shift in how property is bought, held, renovated, and inherited.

At GRAI, we’ve analyzed the fine print to help you understand what this bill means for your next real estate move - whether you’re a buyer, seller, investor, landlord, or estate planner.

Key OBBB Provisions Impacting Real Estate

1. 100% Bonus Depreciation Is Back

Commercial property owners can now deduct the entire cost of qualifying assets in the first year. That means buildings, renovations, and equipment may offer far higher upfront tax savings.

Use GRAI prompt:

“Compare tax benefits of buying a commercial property before vs after the OBBB depreciation rule change.”

2. Qualified Opportunity Zones (QOZs) - Now Permanent

QOZs have become a long-term strategic play, with rolling 10-year designations and generous deferrals for capital gains reinvestment. Real estate investors can now treat QOZs as core to their tax planning.

Use GRAI prompt:

“Show me undervalued properties in QOZs with long-term tax advantages under the new rules.”

3. Estate and Gift Tax Exemptions Raised to $15M

For high-net-worth families, this is a once-in-a-generation planning window. Larger real estate portfolios can now be passed down with reduced tax drag.

Use GRAI prompt:

“Optimize an estate plan for passing down $12M in real estate holdings with the new $15M exemption.”

4. SALT Cap Temporarily Quadrupled

The state and local tax deduction cap has jumped from $10,000 to $40,000 (until 2029), giving high-tax state homeowners a brief window for relief - especially relevant in NY, CA, NJ, and IL.

Use GRAI prompt:

“Evaluate my holding cost for a NYC condo post-SALT cap change vs renting.”

5. Expanded Low-Income Housing Tax Credits

Developers and city planners can now benefit from greater incentives to build affordable housing. This may shift land valuations and zoning priorities in urban areas.

Use GRAI prompt:

“How will the new LIHTC expansion affect property prices in downtown Atlanta or Detroit?”
