Could New Housing Policies Threaten Your Real Estate Goals?

Published 9 months ago • 2 min read


Hey, Reader!

Happy Friday, Fellow Adventurer!

​
​The Latest News​
Last week, President Trump proposed banning institutional investors from buying single-family homes—a policy with rare bipartisan support and broad public appeal. While it sounds like a step toward solving the affordability crisis, the reality is far more complex.

Why This Matters​
Institutional investors own only a small portion of the housing market—around 3.4% of rental homes. The real issues are factors like housing shortages, restrictive zoning laws, high property taxes, and tenant-friendly policies that discourage investment.

For example:

  • Eviction Challenges: In tenant-friendly states, landlords face costly and time-consuming eviction processes, reducing housing supply.
  • Zoning Restrictions: Local ordinances often limit the construction of dense, affordable housing.
  • High Property Taxes: These costs deter investors and drive up rents.

While targeting large landlords may seem like a quick fix, history shows that government policies often expand beyond their original scope. A ban on institutional investors today could eventually impact smaller landlords, including single-member LLCs.

As the saying goes:
​"There is nothing so permanent as a 'temporary' government policy."

What This Means for You​
If you’re a small investor or someone looking to build wealth through real estate, these policies could pose a long-term threat. The key is to stay informed and focus on strategies that work in any market—like passive real estate investing.

Take Control of Your Financial Future​
Passive real estate investing offers:

  • Tax Advantages: Offset income with depreciation and enjoy lower capital gains rates.
  • Higher Returns: Target annual returns of 15-20%, compared to the stock market’s 7-10%.
  • Inflation Protection: Real estate values and rents rise with inflation, preserving your purchasing power.

Hey, Reader! Happy Saturday, Fellow Go-Getter! Can I tell you something that took me embarrassingly long to understand? God never designed any of us to be a one-trick pony. I know that sounds almost too simple. But stay with me. I spent years trying to be the thing — the finance writer, the homeschool mom, the wife, the person with the tidy brand and the published book and the life that made sense on the outside. I followed the plan. I worked the system. I was the "together" one. And then,...

Hey, Reader! Happy Saturday, Fellow Go-Getter! I want to tell you something I don't say often enough. I didn't move to Puerto Rico because it made perfect sense on paper. I moved because after my divorce, after 17 years of building a life, a brand, a family, a whole identity around something that no longer existed, I was sitting in a house I couldn't afford, in a city that reminded me of everything I'd lost, trying to figure out how to pay for housing, school for my kids, and care for an...

And if you're thinking about investing here (or anywhere in the Caribbean), I want to talk to you about something before you book your flight and start making offers. How you show up matters. The Caribbean Is Not a Fantasy Backdrop for Your Investment Strategy There's a version of "investing in Puerto Rico" that looks like this: fly in, buy cheap, hire mainland contractors/suppliers, raise rents, and...
