Lake Tahoe
By Cole Mizak, Lake Tahoe Real Estate Agent | Compass
If you're looking at Lake Tahoe homes for sale right now, you're not alone—and there's a reason investor interest is heating up fast.
Thanks to the newly passed Big Beautiful Bill, which reintroduces 100% bonus depreciation, investors are back in the game in a big way. This tax incentive makes real estate—especially short-term rentals and vacation homes—more attractive than it’s been in years.
And for us here in Lake Tahoe, that’s a game-changer.
In simple terms, 100% bonus depreciation allows investors to immediately deduct the full cost of qualifying property improvements (like furniture, appliances, and fixtures) in the first year. That means huge upfront tax savings.
Previously, this was phasing out. But the Big Beautiful Bill brought it roaring back—for now.
Lake Tahoe isn’t just beautiful—it’s a premium market with consistent demand for both vacation rentals and luxury second homes. With bonus depreciation back in effect, investors looking to offset active income are snapping up properties here faster than you can say “ski-in, ski-out.”
Here’s why:
Strong short-term rental income potential
High-end home inventory qualifies for major write-offs
Year-round tourist demand supports occupancy
Tax shelter potential makes these properties even more profitable
As a Lake Tahoe realtor, I’m already seeing interest spike among buyers who previously sat on the sidelines. If you're eyeing appreciation, cash flow, and tax strategy, Lake Tahoe checks all three boxes.
This isn’t just for the ultra-wealthy. Entrepreneurs, business owners, and anyone earning active income can benefit if they structure their real estate purchase strategically. Talk to your CPA and make sure your setup qualifies (think cost segregation studies, rental use thresholds, etc.).
As a Lake Tahoe real estate agent, I’ve helped many clients work closely with tax professionals to position their purchases correctly.
The Big Beautiful Bill gives us a rare window of opportunity. For buyers, now is the time to find Lake Tahoe homes for sale that fit both lifestyle and financial goals. Whether you’re investing for income, tax strategy, or long-term appreciation, this is the moment to act.
Whether you're an investor, second-home buyer, or just starting to explore Lake Tahoe homes for sale, I’m here to help you navigate the opportunities created by the Big Beautiful Bill’s 100% bonus depreciation.
