Looking forward to the pretzels that people will put themselves in to oppose this.

What an interesting position. While I support this in theory I also support smaller government and less government overreach. These two ideas don't square though.

And just like that the TT9 bros become huge supporters of Blackrock...

I guess the only pretzel I have about this is it shouldn't be the federal government doing it, but I'll still take it.

Serious question, how else does this get done? The shops aren’t just going to stop raking in huge profits and real estate holding unless they’re forced to

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
If companies like BlackRock keep buying residential houses it will continue to raise the cost of living and take houses from normal folks.
More will look for government to fix “affordability” issues.

Blackrock doesn't buy individual homes. Blackstone is the company you're looking for.

Recently, BlackRock has been the subject of speculation, misperception, and even mistaken identity in media reports and on social media regarding our role in the U.S. housing market.
We want to make perfectly clear: BlackRock is not buying individual houses in the U.S
A number of other large asset managers and private equity firms are very active today in purchasing single-family residences. BlackRock is sometimes confused with them.
As a fiduciary asset manager, we invest and manage capital on behalf of our clients in a vast array of public and private U.S. real estate markets – but buying individual homes is not one of them.

They just buy REITS and finance huge rental developments which is practically the same thing for individual home owners

How is financing new housing supply a bad thing? Even if they're rentals more supply is more supply and subject to the same market forces all housing is.

"this is just going to create more scumbag landlords. Instead of one landlord owning 50 homes you're going to have 10 landlords each owning 5 homes durrrr"

Does a 4 burner or a 2 burner come with every home purchase?
Posted on 1/7/26 at 1:16 pm to Mushroom1968
Well, whst would “institutional investors” want to buy single family homes for other than to live in them? I don’t really know what trump is trying to prevent here.

Some of these "corporate investors" are tiny LLCs like mine with 1-3 rental homes or a small reno/flip operation.
Best way to get the blackstones of the world out of the market is to squeeze them out. We need a little more housing inventory to bring down the price of homes, especially starter homes.

I'm not really sure the point of your question and how it relates to the confusion over BlackRock. But people yammer on about affordable housing non-stop so I assume the affordable ones might have a 2 burner.

They finance it for other institutional investors or huge companies. It doesn’t help the consumer at all because it gives them less control of the market and prices. I suppose it’s slightly better than straight up buying existing single family homes, but my point is they aren’t faultless and not involved in housing prices
