An act relating to institutional real estate investors’ purchase of single- and two-family residences

This bill requires large real estate companies (defined as entities owning 10+ single- or two-family homes with $30 million+ in assets) to wait 90 days after a home is listed for public sale before purchasing it. It also eliminates tax deductions for depreciation and interest on these properties for institutional investors. The law applies to commercial real estate firms but excludes nonprofits, community land trusts, and government-funded housing. These changes aim to slow rapid buying by large investors in residential markets.
