Yep. They’ll play the accounting game.

There’s a china woman who lives in CA that owns north of five houses within two blocks of my neighborhood.

The mega investors also concentrated their single family home purchases primarily in a handful of markets across the US

Dallas
I own an electrical contracting business with an office in the DFW area. One of my clients is a property manager for one of these mega investors. They hire contractors to make all initial repairs when they purchase a property, and their maintenance division handles minor stuff after that. I get 5-6 inspection reports a week from him, and he just handles the southern half of Tarrant County. He's one of about a dozen property managers for that company across the DFW counties.

That’s straight up socialist.
So is telling corporations they cant add rat feces, cockroaches, or chunks of metal to canned food but we do that.
We live in a mixed economy, unless someone is advocating transitioning to a pure anarcho capitalism system I really dont care about the grandstanding every single time someone on the right wants to use the government for literally anything at all.

Good Trump
(minus the blame game)
Democrats Introduce Bill Banning Hedge Funds From Owning Single-Family Homes
The bill would force hedge funds to sell all of their single-family home stock over the next 10 years.

Also, if this happens many firms will get out of th business all together and dump inventory leading to large declines in value in those areas.
Oh no won't some one think of Blackrock's resale value!!! The poor home buyers having the ability to have options for affordable housing in desirable areas!

This would be icing.

Back to whom? We talking income redistribution here?
No redistribution. Say his rental portfolio value went from $2,000,000 before Covid to $4,000,000 after Covid.
Because of the new policy Black Rock and large domestic and foreign corporations aren’t allowed to buy single family homes anymore. They may even be incentivized to sell for tax reasons.
That would likely reduce prices . But PawPaw’s $4,000,000 wouldn’t go back to $2,000,000. Instead, something like $3,300,000 or $3,500,000.
That balances interests because Pawpaw still has a very healthy profit and young families and other first time home owners have a better chance of buying a house.

Institutional property is owned by large entities, who have no intention of ever living in any of the homes they purchase.
And?
Dictating how private property should be used is socialism.

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.
It's going to be like the California fast food minimum wage carve outs all over again.

Ban what? Corporate entities owning real/immovable property?
I'll say this again. I would wager at least 90% of posters who make money from rental properties don't own the properties, and they actually own a corporate entity (likely LLC) that actually owns the property.

Zoning for single family housing is a thing. So is mixed use zoning both single family where having light office, retail and restaurants allowed. Only the commercial part of mixed use is meant for institutional investors.
No one calls that socailsm. Except, evidently, you, assuming you are, in fact, an actual, real person.

Trump has floated banning institutional investors not corporations.
No need to be intellectually dishonest.

At this point you’re just setting up a straw man to attack. Commercial buildings, multi-family housing could still be owned by large institutional investors.
And, btw, mom and pop investors cannot usually hold rental houses in LLCs. Because the mortgage companies want a personal guarantee.

a. We're discussing federal policy, not local/county-level policy
b. There should be plenty of people on record with their feelings about this when Obama and Biden attempted to use fedgov to infringe on local zoning. I bet the same people promoting this plan by Trump bitched about that, so offering it as a pivot option is a major hypocrisy red flag.

Nobody is accusing these companies of violating local zoning laws for rentals, and nothing in this policy proposal addresses that directly.

I've posted long about local governments creating housing crises by manipulated the market. Reason used to do a pretty regular column on it and I posted a few on here.
You're getting into European-style regulatory states, which are often called socialist by the same people promoting this policy. If you want to call it European style regulatory states, it's fine with me. The same goal is accomplished philosophically and rhetorically for my argument.

You clearly didn't read the argument of the post to which I responded.

Baked into my response was his argument that they would get around the "institutional investor" definitions (whatever that will be) by creating smaller subsidiary companies that fall within the law. Which led to me asking him to clarify his stance, for the reasons I posted.

Well some people commit mortgage fraud, yes, but read what I wrote.

The zoning codes were written to serve single fsmily home ownership and some mom and pop investors. Not Black Rock and mega-rich Chinese investors.

People living in those areas would be affected by a market correction due to hedge funds dumping. Some have already been affected in parts of FL where this has happened.
