s and federally backed loans to large investors with over 100 million in housing assets. A similar initiative was also tried and failed in Minnesota that would ban corporations from turning single-family homes into rentals. But in each of those cases, not a single one gained enough popularity to pass. Why? Well, it turns out there's a few reasons. First, Congress could face severe legal challenges trying to ban an entire investor class from owning properties. Sure, they could argue that they're preventing housing market distortions and trying to improve affordability, but it's not without a legal fight. Second, even if they did ban institutional investors from buying single-family homes, it would need to be strict enough to prevent the circumvention of a company just creating shell organizations, putting the properties under those LLCs, and buying just enough not to trigger the limit. Of course, Congress could pass the Corporate Transparency Act

"Look, the reality is, if this were to pass, I'll tell you exactly what's going to happen. Rental prices are going to go up because there's less rental inventory. Home prices might also begin to go up because there's less incentive to build houses in bulk, and nothing is going to be done to improve home affordability, even though on paper it's getting a lot of praise. "

"This car weighs more than $6,000, which means that I'd be able to buy this car for $23,000, use it 100% for business use, write off the entire cost of the car against my taxes in a 37% tax bracket, and my net cost at the end of the year comes out to just $14,490 out of pocket. "

"Unfortunately, this next year is going to be extremely difficult, especially for first those with debt. For example, credit cards, auto loans, personal loans, business loans, variable mortgage rates. All of that gets more expensive when rates stay higher for longer. Like, keep in mind that the average American carries thousands of dollars in credit card debt at rates already above 20%. That number is not going down anytime soon. "

"Third, housing stays frozen. Keep in mind that mortgage rates are already hitting multi-deade highs. Worsh's plan to reduce the Fed's balance sheet includes selling off the mortgage back securities, which are literally the assets that back home loans. So, for anyone waiting for housing to get more affordable, you might be waiting a little longer. "
