How Middle Class Renters Miss Out on Homeowner Tax Breaks

from Wealth Distribution with Fexingo: 1%, Middle Class, and Economic Mobility Conversations · host Fexingo

Episode 45 of Wealth Distribution with Fexingo examines the single largest wealth-building tool that middle class renters never access: the mortgage interest deduction and the capital gains exclusion on primary residences. Lucas and Luna trace how a renter earning $75,000 in 2026 gets zero housing-related tax benefits, while a homeowner with the same income nets tens of thousands in deductions over a decade. They cite IRS data showing that 85% of the mortgage interest deduction goes to households earning over $100,000, and explore how this tax code tilt has widened the wealth gap. The episode also covers proposed reforms, including a renter tax credit that failed to gain traction in 2025. A focused, data-driven look at a hidden inequality mechanism. #MortgageInterestDeduction #HomeownerTaxBreaks #RenterInequality #WealthGap #HousingTaxPolicy #MiddleClass #EconomicMobility #TaxCode #IRS #CapitalGainsExclusion #RenterTaxCredit #WealthDistribution #HousingWealth #TaxPolicy2026 #Homeownership #Renters #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
