Sounds great but it's probably not. We had similar things here but as soon as first time buyers gained the extra spending power the sellers just raised prices by that same amount.
I support measures to level the playing field to stop the commercial multi buyers outcompeting the owner-occupiers though.
The real fix is to reduce house prices from the current stupid nosebleed levels bid up during the last 15 years of 0.5% interest when anyone could pay any price simoly by borrowing more.
Regulated rent could be an option, and the city owning a lot of apartment buildings. If rent is low, people would rather rent than taking out huge loans for a overpriced owned home.
Of course with this you also have to deal with private landlords, should they be allowed or not, should they also be regulated or can they take any rent they want, how do we stop luxury renovations of basically every apartment available which drives up prices for everyone even tho most people don't mind lower standards as long as the rent is low.
Alternatively you could also ban usury, prevent bidding on houses for money people don't have. Nobody should have to acquire debt just for something as essential as owning a home and a car.
This is a great idea
They should have HUGE taxes on foreigners buying anything here.
And any corporations that buy houses/land should be vetted to make certain they are a true American company.
They are tricky. They will go through some other people. I have seen it.
100% and raise the taxes through the roof for foreign investors. Better yet, ban foreign investment in properties.
They always go through loop holes.
Trump himself said. If you don't want me to use the loopholes to legally save on taxes then fix them. I think this might be addressed.
Sure hope so.

Governments RUNNING things always ends in disaster.
They get a few things right, like roads. But that's about it.
No, they do roads horribly too. My roads are so regulated to other governments none of them get fixed
Oh. You are correct. They can raise the prices.
I think this is a great idea, first time homebuyers are not usually the wealthiest of people.
Great idea to take out those BlackRock people or Epstein people.
Cool.
