    1. Doubt it tbh, there’s too much money involved and these institutions have way too much political influence. Maybe they’ll throw us some token regulations that look good on paper but won’t actually change anything meaningful

      It doesn’t matter.

      What matters is that Trump isn’t hiding the fact that the housing market is in trouble.

    3. Corporations are people! Or did we forget that?

      I just don’t see how this could be implemented.

    4. institutional buyers and you are equal in civil rights in terms of buying properties. Well, business entities even have disadvantages when borrowing money because they are taking commercial loans and you can pay 3% down and get much lower rate for residential loans.

      Banning institutional buyers will take away a lot of liquidity in this housing market that has already been stagnant.

      I dont see the path for this and I dont see an effective roll out. Is it just on new purchases? Will corporations that already own residential homes need to sell, or are those homes grandfathered in, thus almost making them more valuable?

      I dont think it’ll happen. If it does there will be a ton of holes and it wont be effective.

      Even if they were, they would find a way in through straw buyers or some other mechanism designed to exploit a loophole. By and large, their lawyers are better than govt lawyers.

      I don’t see how you can constitutionally tell a seller who they can and can’t sell to.

      No, of course not. That would piss off all his ritch donors and friends. Just another distraction. We should all be aware of how he operates by now

      Do you think anything Trump would ever do would inconvenience any of his rich friends in any way?

      This is just a public ask for Black Rock to hand over a bribe or a large piece of the pie.

    11. I mean how would they even enforce this or make it constitutional. The only possible thing would be to prevent LLC or Corps to own single family homes which is good but pretty sure it would be challenged immediately

      From what I understand, institutional investors (over 1000 homes) only make up 2% of total investor-owned homes. Banning from buying new ones (not from owning) wouldn’t make a dent. It’s just symbolic.

      Did prices get lowered on Day 1?
      Did the Russia/Ukraine war end on Day 1?
      Did the full Epstein files get released?

      I could go on for days. Don’t hold your breath.

      I don’t see much happening. If something was passed I’d expect years of court challenges, then if somehow it passed that hurdle I’d assume currently owned properties would be grandfathered in.

      This is Trump doing 1 of 2 things.

      #1 He’s trying to buy some good grace in the mid terms for Republicans but he won’t actually do anything.. he’ll just say to vote republicans in so they can ACTUALLY do it.. see his healthcare promises
      #2 He’s trying to get some bribes from the bigger players in this game.. Its all a grift to line his families pockets.

    16. Sure. It’ll get done right after Trump finishes his prior promises of free IVF, an Obamacare replacement, tax-free overtime, the “Wall” with Mexico, and ending the war in Ukraine.

      Seriously, why are you even asking this? What would compel you to hear the statements of Trump—offered with exactly ZERO detail—and make you go, “I know he has lied about every other policy thing he’s said he’d do, but maybe **this** time it’s for real”?
