HOMES Act: Restrictions for Large Property Owners

This act aims to improve housing access for ordinary citizens. It introduces changes that make it harder for large companies and individuals owning many properties to benefit from tax breaks, potentially affecting rental prices and single-family home availability.
Key points
Companies and individuals owning 50 or more single-family rental properties will not be able to deduct loan interest or depreciation for these properties from their taxes.
Exceptions apply when properties are sold to individuals for their primary residence or to qualified non-profit organizations focused on affordable housing.
The goal is to reduce incentives for large entities to buy up homes in bulk, which could help stabilize the housing market and increase homeownership opportunities for families.
New rules will apply to debt incurred and properties placed in service in tax years beginning after the act's enactment date.
