Bans giant investment firms from buying single family homes
This bill, called the American Family Housing Act, would stop very large investment companies from buying single family homes. It would prevent firms with over $100 billion in assets from purchasing these properties directly or taking big ownership stakes in companies that own many homes. These changes would take effect about 100 days after the bill becomes law.
Today, giant investment companies can freely buy single family homes and large stakes in companies that own many houses. If this bill becomes law, about 100 days later, companies managing over $100 billion would be blocked from buying single family homes directly or owning more than 49% of firms that hold over 100 such homes.
