Trump says he is taking immediate steps to ban institutional purchases of single-family homes. Seems unlikely to pass congress.

Who is going to buy the homes they are forced to sell? Without a housing crash.

I am guessing Trump would see a housing crash as a win because it would make owning your own home cheaper.

What kind of housing do "large institutional investors" target? I assumed income generating like low income rentals and apartments. Lower class can't get a loan and middle/upper class don't want them. This move may just make rent cheaper, not owning a home.

This is focused on SFHs isn't it? Lower middle income households have been choked out. If they make up a small % of those buys, I don't really understand the fuss if it's a win for the avg low income American. It won't fix the bigger issue though.

I looked at this issue about a year ago and large cap companies do not have near the foot print many believe. It's a small fraction of the market.

And if companies like Blakerock were forced to sell other investors would most likely buy their inventory.

This is nothing more than a PR stunt.

200 billion doe not go very far in the mortgage market.

You would need the Fed implement quantitative easing again like 2009-2010.
