It's one big, beautiful bill, or at least some people think so, while others like Elon Musk

0:06.7

are not so convinced.

0:08.5

Today, we're talking about President Trump's signature legislation making its way through

0:13.1

Congress.

0:13.9

We'll talk about what's in it, what's missing, arguments both for and against the bill, and

0:19.0

of course, we'll talk about what it means for real estate investors.

Hey, what's going on, everyone? It's Dave, head of real estate investing at Bigger Pockets. And today we're getting into a very big, important topic, Trump's big tax bill. I was actually thinking and considering

0:40.1

waiting to make this episode until after the Senate actually passed a bill and we knew for

0:45.8

sure what was going to be in it. But then, of course, as you probably all know, Elon Musk publicly

0:58.2

But I figured now was kind of time to break down what's going on in this bill if it is causing

We'll talk about what made it into the bill, what was omitted. Next,

1:28.0

we'll talk about arguments both for and against the bill, because as you know, our goal in the show

1:36.9

what this all could mean for real estate investors. Let's go. So first things first, what's in the bill? And again, it's called the one big beautiful bill Act O B, B, B, B, A.

1:46.6

And the primary goal, at least from what Republicans are saying, and Trump himself has been saying, the primary number one goal is to extend the tax cuts from 2017.

1:58.1

You might remember back to Trump's first term in office, there is a pretty sweeping

2:02.3

tax legislation that brought tax rates down. So just for example, the highest tax bracket before
