So then why ban?

Maybe you didnt understand the memo?

Private property is owned by people. Who sign a SINGLE home mortgage where they can own outright, or make payments toward ownership

Institutional property is owned by large entities, who have no intention of ever living in any of the homes they purchase. They however, then control who gets to purchase said "private property", and then attempt to DEI certain neighborhoods. Ya know since school busing didnt work out, and all

But wait, the boomers on here said that younger generation can’t buy a house because they don’t work hard enough.

Wha happen?

You'll stifle new building and increase the amount of slum properties long term. This is nothing more than rent control by another name.

Hi PawPaw. Given your many posts ITT hating on the proposed policy, I’ll go out on a limb and say you own many properties that have appreciated greatly in value, if not skyrocketed. Those gains were largely because of federal policies inflating the market.

You may have to give some of your gains back. No all, not even most. But some. You’ll still be way ahead.

Maybe you didn't understand it: corporations are LEGAL PERSONS and can own real estate.

You mean like private investors that pool their capital to buy rent houses? Weird.

I’m for letting this one play out before deciding that it’s automatically a horrible idea.

See what’s in the fine print details.

This is where I am. Overall, investing in real estate should be something allowed. I mean, Trump himself is a RE mogul.

We are theoretically targeting one particular style of RE acquisition. How do you deal with that without fine print loopholes and collateral? No apparent simple solution

Its like arguing with a sloth. It will take you a day or two I guess. This is exactly the reason for the ban, btw

to buy rent houses? You didnt even see what you did there. Aint nobody pissed off about rental ownership

This is solely about single family housing and attempts by DR Horton and Blackrock to influence housing. Heres some reading

DR Horton Regional Demand Variability:

Changes in regional policies, such as immigration reform, could impact demand in key markets. While Horton’s geographic diversification helps mitigate this risk, regional fluctuations remain a potential headwind.

BlackRock Progressing On $1B Fund Focused on People of Color

Fund will make direct investments across private credit, infrastructure and real estate.

Functionally I like how this sounds and feel like it's legitimately necessary.

The pragmatic side of me can't help but think, "oh yeah, regulate me harder, daddy!"


Agree, I am generally not in support of MORE regulation. But then again everyone short of pure anarchists supports SOME form of regulation.

It's always a test of one's critical thinking & unfortunately that can be hard to find online

Something needs to be done. I am not sure banning is the way, but at least some limitations


Just ban it. They get around limitations by creating smaller local subsidiary groups they own a stake in and they buy them up.

Agreed. Banning the private sale and purchase of property for certain parties to help the common man? That’s straight up socialist.

What's the difference between a "large institutional investor" and someone who owns some apartment complexes getting into buying and renting individual homes?

My point here is there's going to need to be a very clear line keeping out the Blackrocks but allowing Joe Bob, LLC.

I'm all for the cracking down on stock buybacks, but without dividends you'll stifle investment overall.
