I was personally annoyed a little bit to start when I realized my SALT deductions were going to drop from about $65k down to the $10k threshold, and not that would have changed my buying patterns on anything....but then NAR helped lobby for the 20% pass through deduction which us agents will get, which will give me a big deduction to offset the SALT limit.
