Yup. I already acknowledged as much in a later post.

He’s basically trying to copy what Kamala Harris wanted to do.

This and getting rid of illegals is something i can support fatboi Donny on. If he can somehow get rid of spam calls too I might actually say something nice about him.

Me too. I also voted for him saying he would stop the Ukraine war on day 1 with a phone call. And putting an end to regime change operations, and, and, and...

I hate government also, but I know that big corporations, gets to, and buys off politicians like it is nothing.

This puts them in a position to affect the average person in a negative way.

Look at insurance and health care.

Until term limits I don't see how things get any better for average Americans.

I'll believe it when I see it. Will be glad to say I was wrong. In the meantime, how about a goddamn executive order on this?

Earlier in 2025 (Q1), one report indicated investors bought nearly 27% of homes, the highest in at least five years.

Other periods in 2024–2025 show shares around 16–23%, depending on the quarter and source (e.g., Redfin, CoreLogic).

Majority of those are owned by mom and pop shops with less than 5 properties. Technically i'm an investor owner because we have 1 rental property. It's hard to find decent data on institutional investor ownership but ~4-5% seems to be what keeps popping up.

Trump says he will ban Wall Street investments in single-family homes

Well, rental vacancies and housing inventory are both at their highest levels since 2018/2019. That's step one and shows that the market is adjusting. Also seeing lots of other indicators as homes are sitting on the market longer and prices are coming down.

SW FLA is often a precursor of things to come for the rest of the country: LINK

ETA: My brother is a realtor in that area of Florida and anecdotally he told me it's gotten REALLY slow. A lot of agents throwing in the towel similar to the crash of 2008.

Looking forward to the pretzels that people will put themselves in to oppose this.

I'm more interested in the loopholes that will be used to get around this law. What about private ownership of rental homes? Will this also outlaw the use of LLCs to compartmentalize your investment properties?

Another problem is what that will do to the rental market. You have a lot of people who cannot fork over the down payment on a $200k loan. I think this might have the unintended effect of causing the rental market to skyrocket.
