๐Ÿก Changes Ahead for Homeowners ๐Ÿก

The new One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) locked in some important rules around mortgage interest and insurance:

  • Mortgage interest is capped at loans up to $750,000 (unless youโ€™re grandfathered in with an older loan).
  • Starting in 2026, you may be able to deduct mortgage insurance premiumsโ€”but only if your income is under certain limits.
  • Older โ€œgrandfatheredโ€ mortgages (from before late 2017) can still qualify for the higher $1 million cap.

โš–๏ธ Planning Opportunities
Homeowners who itemize can benefit from strategic tax planningโ€”stacking mortgage interest with SALT and other deductions (including senior bonus deductions)โ€”to maximize their tax outcome.
