Affordable Housing Bill Limits Investor Home Purchases to 350 Units

A new affordable housing bill limiting major investors to purchasing a maximum of 350 single-family homes is set to pass Congress this month. Senate Majority Leader John Thune indicated the Senate could initiate a vote on the bill as early as Thursday. The House may consider the legislation next week, as previous versions have garnered significant support. This legislation marks the first instance of Congress restricting private equity's purchases in this sector, which could impact the housing market and affordability.
