The Current Tax Bill/Plan And Its Effects on RE Investing

What does the BP brain trust think about how this new tax bill in its current or expected form will affect us? 

I have read a couple of articles that bemoan that homeowners in expensive locales will suffer, however little to no impact to less pricey areas and a net probable boost to landlords.

Live in flips will certainly be less profitable if the capital gains exemption increase from two to five years!

    It may slow demand a little in high cost areas for a minute, but when people are already buying in cashflow negative area, you really think they care that much about the cashflow or cost?

     Do you think it will accelerate the flow of americans to rentals in the long term by squeezing the already tight affordable house market?

     if one can already afford a home that’s extremely above the national average, I don’t think renting is on their plate as an option.
