President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced plans to ban institutional investors from purchasing single-family homes in what he sees as a means of improving affordability for Americans.
Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform that, “For a very long time, buying and owning a home was considered the pinnacle of the American Dream.”
“It was the reward for working hard, and doing the right thing, but now, because of the Record High Inflation caused by Joe Biden and the Democrats in Congress, that American Dream is increasingly out of reach for far too many people, especially younger Americans.”
