I think a way around the SALT deduction rollback would be to finance the property taxes. The mortgage interest deduction still exists. Banks could build the local property taxes into the loan as some do now via escrow charges. Only instead of calling them escrow, capitalize them into the principal every year at a higher interest rate, commensurate with the property tax deduction lost. Or just charge stand alone "special interest" equivalent to the amount of property tax paid each year. It'd take some creative math and structuring to do so and still have the loan amortize anywhere near properly, but where there's a will...
