Federal Investment in Real Estate A Call for Action Ilana Preuss Vice President & Chief of Staff
#RethinkRealEstate
Federal Real Estate Policy Today
Over 50 different federal programs influence real estate in the United States • Loan Guarantees • Individual Tax Deductions • Commercial tax credits
#RethinkRealEstate
Changing real estate programs would benefit families and communities.
#RethinkRealEstate
From Examination to Action Federal Involvement in Real Estate: A Call for Examinaton (January 2013) • No overarching principles guide these programs • That’s hurting America’s families, restricting economic development in communities, failing taxpayers Programs should:
• Support balanced housing choices • Reinvest in existing neighborhoods • Provide a safety net for American families. • Help more Americans reach the middle class #RethinkRealEstate
We have a fiscal responsibility to act.
#RethinkRealEstate
Why do these programs matter to developers? Demand for real estate is changing: • Walkable neighborhoods • Rental housing, infill development, historic rehabilitation
#RethinkRealEstate
Benefits of Investing in Existing Communities
#RethinkRealEstate
Federal real estate programs are not designed for today’s fiscal and market realities • They penalize families who can’t afford to or choose not to buy a home.
• They favor single family homes over other types. • They offer financial incentives to purchase second homes when many cannot afford a single home. • They fail to support America’s existing neighborhoods.
#RethinkRealEstate
Our Recommendations • Establish pre-tax Mortgage Savings Accounts for first-time home buyers
• Refocus the Federal Housing Administration on its mission • Expand the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit • Expand the Rehabilitation Tax Credit to include buildings 50 years old • Create an innovative infrastructure financing option for redevelopment #RethinkRealEstate
How do we pay for it? • Refocus federal programs such as the mortgage interest deduction & capital gains tax exemption on helping more people reach the middle class and become homeowners • Reduce federal subsidies for flood insurance, so that insurance rates better reflect the true risk of flooding and support is targeted to those most in need.
#RethinkRealEstate
Better development strategies can make entire regions economically stronger and more competitive. It’s time federal programs reflected that.
