Date: November 20th, 2017 1:35 PM Author: ultramarine trip famous landscape painting elastic band the GOP tax plan proposes cutting the cap on mortgage interest deductions on newly purchased homes. Currently, a married couple can deduct interest on mortgages of up to $1,000,000; the GOP plan would cut that to $500,000. Similarly, deductions of state and local property tax would be capped at $10,000.
----
Why do they say newly purchased homes? Is that because the interest is front loaded or is there some specific provision for homes based on a given date, etc? If the amount of my mortgage is now below 500 does it count? Does this impact a second home? |

You think that is a good thing? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3803576&forum_id=2#34742010) |

reminder why the mortgage interest deduction is indefensibly retarded: its both regressive and anti-growth, a rare double whammy. rich boomers with too many bedrooms and houses benefit way more than poorer people. and we'd be so much better off growth wise by spending that foregone tax revenue than some guy's unnecessary guesthouse or something. its upper middle class welfare politicians are too pussy to address. |

Date: November 20th, 2017 5:41 PM Author: vivacious pea-brained point The increase in standard deduct is probably worse, especially combined with cut of other deducts, because it makes the mtg interest deduction less valuable, thus increasing the relative cost of homeownership and driving down prices. I'm worried about seeing a 10% or more drop in the value of the house I just bought. even if people get an overall tax cut, this plan will drive down property prices due to the higher cost of homeownership relative to renting. Home equity is the biggest asset of most middle class families, who won't get a corresponding stock portfolio increase the way wealthier people who have more net worth in equities will.

"Trump is the revolution that America desperately needs right now, we'll go down the tubes without his radical brand of leadership and course correction for this country." . . . . . one year later: "Trump is on board with a plan that will cut a tax subsidy I have been enjoying for a few years to help finance my retarded striver lifestyle because my pissant salary doesn't quite cut it, so I'm probably going to vote for whoever the Democrats run." |

Still, eliminating deduction for state and local taxes will fuck UMC people in high COL areas. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3803576&forum_id=2#34742029) |
