House Passes Bipartisan Housing Bill Targeting Corporate Homebuyers

The biggest flashpoint could be the removal of the forced-sale requirement for institutional landlords.

The bill also faces the Senate’s 60-vote threshold, always a major obstacle.

Still, the lopsided House vote gives the legislation strong momentum.

For Republicans, the politics are straightforward.

Housing affordability remains a top concern for voters dealing with high mortgage rates, tight inventory, and growing competition from deep-pocketed corporate buyers.
