I am a first time homebuyer and in the market for a new home. I have been speaking to a real estate agent who confirmed what I have already noticed myself, that I am in a seller’s market (conditions favor the seller – higher home selling price). He also confirmed what I had suspected, a lot of home investors buy up properties and either rent them out at high rates and/or fix up the homes and sell it at a high rate. This upward cycle drives new and all home prices up even further. It seems this greed is an upward spiral that favors the sellers and makes buying a home out of reach for many people of modest to moderate means.

What would be the fairest option below to new home buyers to keep home investors from getting out of control and driving home prices through the roof? These options would apply to a person has bought more than two homes in the past 2 years and/or over 2 homes in their lifetime if they are not residents for a reasonable amount of time in each one. Extraordinary circumstances may apply (such as a person moves a lot because a job) for a select few, which could cause these options to be voided if proven.

1.The interest rate for each new home that the investor buys is 10 (or more) times more than the standard interest rate for new home buyers. For instance, a new home buyer may get a 3% interest rate but an investor would pay up to 30% (or more).
2.A $10,000 - $50,000 charge for selling a home off early depending on the purchase price and final sale price (this would be enforced when the person filled for taxes each year if person paid for house in cash – the proceeds could go to new home buyers and vet home buying assitance)
3.Limits on owning more than 2 homes at any one time if the owner is not the resident and is listed as living in another address.
4.Limits on owning more than 2 homes in one’s lifetime if the owner is not the current resident, has not lived in each residence for a reasonable amount of time and is listed as living in another address.
5.Keep people who are not American citizens and not currently living in the United States from buying and owning more than 1 property at a time (this happens a lot by China and other countries).
