“The Senate is set to consider the ROAD to Housing Act of 2025, or as Rand Paul calls it, ‘Path Toward the Destruction of Property Rights Act.’ The bill would limit institutional investors from buying certain single-family homes. Previously, President Trump issued an executive order to limit Wall Street from competing for homes with Main Street in the single family rental market (SFR). Institutional investors (investors with 100 or more properties) in SFRs have been unpopular for a while and have faced political opposition, particularly from the left, though now Republicans are the chief sponsors of the legislation. However, the extent of institutional investment in SFRs has been wildly exaggerated and the benefits from having them in the market are frequently ignored.” (03/10/26)
