Look up the proposed “End Hedge Fund Control of American Homes Act”.
No reason something like this shouldn’t have bipartisan support
quote:
The End Hedge Fund Control of American Homes Act seeks to put an end to this harmful practice of hedge funds buying up single-family homes:
•Bans hedge funds from owning single-family homes and requires them to sell at least 10% of the total number of single-family homes they currently own to families per year over a 10-year period.
• Subjects hedge funds to a $50,000 per single family home per year tax penalty on the number of single- family homes owned above either zero or a scheduled 10% reduction per year over 10-years winding down to zero. o After a 10-year full phase-out, all hedge funds will be completely banned from owning any single-family homes.
• Imposes a 50% tax on the fair market value of any future hedge fund purchase of a single-family home.
• Tax penalties paid by hedge funds are reserved for down payment assistance for people seeking to purchase homes sold by hedge funds.
• Ensures the tax penalty focuses on problematic actors by excluding nonprofit organizations, public housing agencies and other government entities.
• Includes an explicit certification process for a purchaser of a hedge fund owned home to confirm that they do not own a majority interest in any other single family residential real estate.

Corporations will only buy up more homes going forward all over the country
As a taxpayer, I'm excited to bail these companies out when the whole shebang goes tits up and we need to keep the companies from failing, because reasons.

This is one of the very few issues I trust democrats to deal with over republicans. PE has an especially strong hold on the GOP.
