What this bill would do
The ACRE Act of 2025 aims to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. It proposes to exclude interest received from certain loans from gross income. This applies to interest received by a qualified lender on a qualified real estate loan. These loans must be secured by rural or agricultural real property, forestland, or specific single family residences. The bill defines qualified lenders and provides specific criteria for what constitutes a qualified real estate loan.

-
Benefits for Single Family Residents: The bill includes provisions for single family residences that are a person's principal residence and located in a rural area, provided the loan principal does not exceed $750,000 (Section 2(c)(1)(C) and Section 2(c)(3)(B)).
