Is this too much?!

We were just in a room and he dropped a gem while answering a question about a wholesale business. Check it out. I hope you can hear. Anyone see how this impacts us? 👉 Do we do a lot of out reach … and then when we get more follow ups and warm leads stop doing all the out reach? 👉 Do we justify this because “we’re busy with deals / follow up?” 👉 Is this self sabotage that keep us small? If this reads like ポール、何言ってるお前？ … don’t worry. We will talk about this more.

‘’BREAKING: TRUMP BANNED INSTITUTIONAL CAPITAL FROM BUYING SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES — AND THAT’S A BIG DEAL For decades, owning a home was sold as the American Dream. Work hard. Buy a house. Build wealth. But Trump is right about one thing: For younger Americans, that dream has been slipping away. Not because homes disappeared. But because who’s buying them changed. WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED (THE PART NO ONE EXPLAINS) Over the last decade, large institutional investors stepped into single-family housing. Not mom-and-pop landlords. Big money: - Private equity - REITs - Pension-backed housing funds They didn’t buy homes to live in them. They bought them to warehouse demand. When institutions bid: - They pay cash - They close fast - They don’t negotiate like families That pushed prices up. It pushed first-time buyers out. And it turned neighborhoods into balance sheets. So when Trump says, “People live in homes, not corporations,” He’s speaking to a real shift that already happened. WHAT A BAN WOULD ACTUALLY CHANGE Let’s be clear. This wouldn’t crash housing. It would change who gets first access. If large institutions are restricted from buying new single-family homes: Less artificial bidding pressure ↳ Families stop competing with billion-dollar funds More inventory for individual buyers and small investors ↳ The playing field levels Stabilization, not collapse ↳ Prices grow slower instead of spiking More room for smart operators ↳ Local investors step back into the game This is not anti–real estate. It’s anti-concentration. WHY THIS IS ACTUALLY GOOD NEWS FOR REAL INVESTORS Here’s what most people miss. Institutional money doesn’t leave markets quietly. If rules change, they pivot: - Into multifamily - Into build-to-rent developments - Into financing instead of ownership That opens space. And space creates opportunity. Especially for investors who: ✅Understand cash flow ✅Buy for yield, not hype ✅Know their local markets ✅Can operate efficiently
