Remember the trump administration goal here: get the federal government out of the GSE (government-sponsored enterprises) business.

End of the day, the flooring company worked with us and we moved on to other things more important because one bad experience should not trump years of good experiences.

Hey @Donald Allen!

This rule was introduced by the Trump tax reform of 2018.Interest used for buying investment properties has always been deductible against that property, and it does not matter what is the source of that interest: mortgage, HELOC, personal loan, life insurance loan, whatever.

And a Trump souvenir store too, but that’s another topic.

But in that case your taxes will skyrocket and you won't be able to appeal them, so your cash flow gets reduced.Also, Maryland has high income taxes so you need a good accountant to help you structure your business to minimize your net income (see Trump, Donald for an example of this).Again, your decision will have to be based on your long-term goals and unique financial situation.Good luck with whatever city you choose.

@Sean H.Politics have never been predictable, and now less than ever before.That said, for any significant tax legislation to see the light, Biden (or Trump) will need support both in the House and in the Senate.

President Trump authorized temporary $300 payments, but the money is already running out and Congress is deadlocked on what to do next.
