Ban from future buying, or they gotta sell what they currently own too?
Worst guy you know makes a great point…
Good
By the dip on blackrock. They’ll pay him off, and he’ll taco.
Threatens. He threatened a lot
Epstein distraction. Just like the 2k checks. And 5k doge checks.
Interesting to see if he follows through or if its to distract.
Also what would that mean for hedge funds that already own single family homes?
“Threatens to” … ?
And then wall street investments goes ahead and bribes him and then he conveniently forgets this plan.
And it’s only been 1 year of him smh
There are so many loopholes to this.
* Define large, define institutional
* What about multi-LLC owners?
* Scorps?
* Family office?
* Number of doors/units? How many is too many?
I live in the bay area and im priced out because tech engineers make anywhere from 300k to 1 mil like my coworkers husband at nvidia! They bought a house before even moving out of the house they lived in. Like who does that when the homes are 2+ mil. F M L
I am assuming this would only affect houses going forward if such a rule was implemented right? We would still be under a huge housing shortage with heavy tariffs on parts.
That’s actually smart
As someone who’s given up on ever owning a home, I’ll take it.
Threaten? That doesn’t mean shit
i hope its true. capitalism is annoying at times, not sure there is a better alternative?
He’s just saying it because of the midterms. He’s freaking out about it. Or for bribes.
Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in awhile
There’s going to be something buried in there that’s very disagreeable
Wonder how this is gonna effect REITS
Somehow the Trump family will make tens of millions on this.
It was introduced last year: https://www.kelly.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/kelly-merkley-launch-renewed-effort-to-keep-hedge-funds-out-of-americas-housing-market/
They did this in the Netherlands a few years ago and the price of homes actually went up. Then the government rolled it back and actually lowered taxes for people to buy investment properties again
Flood the Zone, his go-to policy
Anyone who puts an ounce of faith in this is a fool
The guy whose family fortune came from his father being a slumlord, the guy who’s spent his life as a slum lord now believes that owning a bunch of real estate should be illegal?
Doubt
$20 says this is just a shakedown. He’ll talk about it up until the moment the lobby opend its wallet to pay him off. Then crickets
Even when he has a good idea everyone on reddit still finds a way to complain lmao
a broken clock is right twice a day…
I read that as people with homes can’t invest lol
I’ll believe it when I see it.
Yes please
How do I get people to stop talking about Venezuela, ice shooting people, and Russian subs in the Caribbean in plain view of our war ships….
Pretend you will actually do something for the people.
Reality is he already extorted tech, big oil, now real-estate.
He vying for a payout, plain and simple.
