Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
As mentioned in the November Newsletter, the U.S. House and Senate released their own versions of the tax reform bills. The U.S. Senate’s version, “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” bill has moved to the Senate floor for debate. The bill released by the House of Representatives passed a vote in the House last month. These steps are an important breakthrough to both bills becoming laws.
Upcoming Conferences

Both conferences are great opportunities to connect with experts and peers and gather new insights on the real estate industry.
