Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –
The Wall Street Journal, followed by others, have reported that giant Apple is bringing hundreds of billions back to the U.S., as a result of the passage of the Trump tax bill.
This was previously projected to occur, in the Daily Business News report, linked below.
- “Apple “anticipates repatriation tax payments of approximately $38 billion as required by recent changes to the tax law. A payment of that size would likely be the largest of its kind ever made,” the company said,” per CNBC.
- “Using the new 15.5 percent repatriation tax rate, the $38 billion tax payment disclosed by Apple means they are planning a $245 billion repatriation.”
There are several reasons this matters to manufactured housing, and factory built home pros. These have been noted in prior reports, some of which are linked below. But to “reader’s digest’ version is this. Capital is the obvious lifeblood for housing, and with hundreds of billions expected to return, the opportunities for investments in the housing field could be unprecedented in modern times.
