Stop Wall Street Landlords Act: Curbing Large Investor Home Ownership
This act aims to limit the influence of large investors in the single-family home market, making it easier for ordinary citizens to buy their own homes. It introduces new tax rules for large companies owning multiple homes and offers tax credits for building and renovating homes in needy neighborhoods, supporting housing affordability.
Key points
Large companies owning single-family homes will not be able to deduct mortgage interest and depreciation expenses, potentially reducing their rental profits.
An excise tax will be imposed on the sale of single-family homes by large investors, discouraging real estate speculation.
A tax credit is established for building or substantially rehabilitating homes in specific neighborhoods to increase the availability of affordable housing for lower-income individuals.
Federal mortgage assistance (e.g., Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae) will be prohibited for large investors, limiting their ability to finance home purchases.
