Overview
In a renewed push on housing affordability, Donald Trump is publicly backing a ban aimed at limiting large institutional investors from buying single-family homes. The proposal is framed as a response to concerns that Wall Street-style investor purchases have reduced affordability by converting homes into rentals, and Trump says he wants Congress to codify the measure while signaling more housing proposals to come.
