_Roosevelt Franklin Delano Roosevelt (January 30, 1882 – April 12, 1945), often referred to by his initials FDR, During the Great Depression of the 1930s, Roosevelt created the New Deal to provide relief for the unemployed, recovery of the economy, and reform of the economic and banking systems, through various agencies, such as the Works Project Administration (WPA), National Recovery Administration (NRA), and the Agricultural Adjustment Administration (AAA).[1] Although recovery of the economy was incomplete until World War II, several programs he initiated, such as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), continue to have instrumental roles in the nation's commerce.

OfgiftYou are both right, kind of.In the sunshine belt there was a huge build up in the early to mid 80's leading up to the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and the Savings and Loan melt down.

Are you aware that a Partnership is one of the worst entities for RE?Forming

I'm far from a Trump supporter, but I can't be the only one that noticed how overall landlord friendly 2017's tax reform was, right?

It's case by case, and it's not a result of the tax reform.

For investment properties, it appears that my clients are all writing off ALL mortgage interest and ALL property taxes.Primary residence, they are writing off interest on the first $750k and zero on property taxes (they are already at the $10k SALT cap).Our President is a real estate mogul, lo and behold tax reform didn't hurt real estate investors at all.

I'm an SFR investor interested in buying NNN property in bad shape for 500k and to renovate it for 600k-1mil (to take advantage of the tax reform benefits).

The bank appraises the fence for $10,000, but the new buyer gets to start depreciation over for $15,000.What you're referring to as the 20% deduction in the first year, is what's called 100% Bonus depreciation , and is a new law passed with the TCJA tax reform.

@Curtis Maag@Wayne Brooks is correct but it was almost changed in the trump tax reform- understand it may change in the future but all you can do is make the decisions based on today’s rules. 

Some people get turned down for a government job (Supreme Court justice, for example) even though they've never been charged with or convicted of a crime.Some people learn their lesson and reform themselves after a few close calls, while others do not.
