Votes and Verdicts: Proposed Ban on Institutional Home Ownership
Votes and Verdicts
Proposed Ban on Institutional Home Ownership
The Trump Administration is seeking to ban large institutional investors from buying single family homes in the name of improving housing affordability. The Senate's proposed legislation, as part of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, layers in the concept of requiring build-to-rent homes to be sold within seven years. Will this bill become law? What does it mean for those companies that own single-family rental homes? And will it actually improve housing affordability? These questions and more were discussed on our latest episode of Votes and Verdicts, featuring Jeff Langbaum, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior REIT Analyst, and David Howard, Principal and Founder of Real Estate & Housing Advisors. This is the first installment of a three-part miniseries exploring various aspects of housing affordability.
