Home ownership is racist anyway.

They pay cash.....and so a builder can't buy a house to tear down and build a bigger house? And many wealthy people buy their house (s) through a corporation. Small investors like myself buy rental property through corporations. Many houses are bought by corporations that aren't institutional investors.
And then there is the supreme court that the last several years has favored corporations.

Billionaires diversifying their portfolios with greater exposure to real estate.
“People live in homes, not corporations” is beautiful counterpoint.

I both want this and yet it is in complete opposition to my general political philosophies.

As an individual he can.

They can buy as an individual and then quitclaim to the corp.

And you can still buy a duplex, triplex or a 4plex. I doubt someone as crusty as you buys much RE

you mean the pretzel of capitalism. now pretzel yourself into explaining how you aren't a socialist
Explain, in as great a detail as you can, how preventing large investment firms from purchasing single family homes is in any way socialist.

I like the idea of this in principal
But the idea of the government picking winners and losers on who is allowed to invest and purchases certain things likely leads to nowhere good and ultimately causes more problems down the road

What an interesting position. While I support this in theory I also support smaller government and less government overreach. These two ideas don't square though.
In the real world - regulations have to kick in at some point, or the "winners" of the system can snowball their resources and gain complete control of the system.
There is no such thing as a "free economy"
Communism proves it on one extreme
Private Equity, crony capitalism, and Monopolies prove it on the other
As long as human nature is involved, something will go out of balance eventually.

He didn't reply when I asked the same question. I think he quickly realized his attempt at a gotcha was stupid.

I think this is Trump trying to do something popular and letting SCOTUS shoot it down so he can claim he did everything he could......
The best way to make homes more affordable isn't at the federal level. Local governments needs to enact zoning that makes it easier and cheaper for builders to provide starter homes. My local area requires insane flood mitigation that consumes a lot of land of any new development - that's politically easier than local governments actually investing in drainage infrastructure I guess.
Maybe there is a way we could encourage younger buyers to buy older housing stock and renovate/modernize. We haven't really build smaller 1100-1500 square foot single family homes around here in 40 years. Most of that inventory is older.

Your LLC rolls up to you. Blackstone’s LLC’s roll up into a holding company, it’s really not that hard

Eventually. But you gotta get through all the SPVs, JVs, OpCos, etc to get back to it. For example, my current BX fund you would have to go SPV>JV>Subsidiary>HoldCo>BX. They complicate the shite out of this.
