Should the government restrict the purchase of residential properties by foreign investors?

No

The government should restrict the purchase of residential properties by all private corporations.

The government should ban buying homes as investments

No, so long as they are using the property for residential purposes.

Yes, provided the property is not being purchased as a genuine unit of housing for an individual desiring to live in the United States

Yes, and domestic investors should be restricted as well. Houses should only be available for purchase by individuals for the purpose of living in.

Yes, and we should restrict the purchase of single-family residences by corporations and vacation rental companies

Depends on what "foreign investors" mean. Non-citizens should absolutely be able to buy homes, but companies outside the U.S. (and companies in general) should not be able to purchase residential property.

Limit it every time the practice rises housing prices. End golden visa and make investors fund the state sector and green energy

I feel like it depends on how long they want to stay here and what is their purpose of stau=ying here

Yes, and ban all noncitizens, foreign companies and investors from buying residential property

Yes, but only to an extent. They should be limited to a small percentage of properties in any given city.

Foreigners should still be able to buy properties but there needs to still be property left for citizens and natives from the country to purchase as well

Yes, foreign entities and nations should not be allowed to purchase residential property or land that is of value to residential development. Individual non-U.S. residents should not be allowed to purchase multiple properties, and properties should be limited to individual flats/apartments in high-density buildings. However, individuals who are U.S. residents should not be discriminated against regardless of their country of origin or citizenships.

Yes, and prohibit the purchase of residential properties by private equity and their shell companies.

In the event that a buy out would occur that has potential to interfere with the economic practices of social programs, then it should be prohibited.

No, only restrict to those who have not been inside U.S. ground before or live in an authoritarian government.

No. As long as they prioritize domestic investors and/or require higher tax rates on properties owned by foreign investors

I can understand both sides. I say yes, but those bought-out houses should be bought with good intent to help lower the property value.

Yes, and by domestic investors. Residential properties should be owned by the people living inside and investors should be incentivized to fund the construction of new properties.

Yes, but only if the investor is a foreign government or foreign government-managed person or organization.

Yes, foreign investors only buy American property and residential homes, for the sole purpose of making money off of low-class Americans.

Yes, and address larger corporations like black rock from purchasing residential properties to drive up housing prices.

No, abolish all property taxes and implement a land-value tax on all secondary properties instead to increase individual home ownership and decrease rentals

government should restrict the purchase of residential properties by foreign investors, corporations, and speculative entities like STR owners, to prioritize housing for local, full-time residents. Housing is a human need, not just an investment vehicle.

I feel like they should go through a process if it is a foreign investor trying to buy American Property or they at least have U.S. Citizenship.

depending on the use of land and a little research on the investors cause it can lead to potentially bad use.

If, a foreign investor dose not have the best interest of the country or area they are building in this can allow for aliases of foreign degree to ruin the livelihood of others home experience. Companies who do improve the living conditions of an area would be reasonable to ascertain as being built in residential locations.

No but there should be policies put in place for those foreign investors that are manipulating the system.

could be considered to address housing affordability issues, but needs careful consideration of potential economic impacts and should not be discriminatory

No, for the sake of equality, justice, juicing the Housing Market, juicing the Real Estate Industry, freedom, federalism, weak government, and checks and balances.

No, for the sake of growing the housing market, freedom, capitalism, equality, justice, federalism, weak government, and checks and balances.

Not for purchasing property for use as a personal residence. I do support restrictions on buying for speculative purposes, though.

If we’re talking about immigrants/asylum seekers buying houses then yes! If we’re talking about private companies from other nations, especially those of questionable integrity, then no!

possibly it depends on what is influencing the decission to do so. If it is because it is being bought by our friends of course not.

Yes, foreign investors and non-real estate companies in general should be prohibited from participating in the purchase or sale of residential properties.

yes, with an anti-blight ordinance. Fines for non use or non occupation shall be given or properties to be seized for low income living.

No, this will tank the Housing Market and Real Estate Industry. This also is an anathema towards freedom, capitalism, checks and balances, weak government, and federalism.

Whether the government should restrict foreign investors from purchasing residential properties is a complex issue with arguments on both sides, with potential benefits and drawbacks for both the economy and national security.
Arguments for Restrictions:
National Security:
Some argue that restricting foreign ownership of land, especially near critical infrastructure or strategic locations, can protect national security interests.
Economic Stability:
Concerns exist that foreign investment could lead to increased housing costs and reduced affordability for local residents, potentially destabi…  Read morelizing the housing market.
Protecting Local Communities:
Some believe that restricting foreign ownership can help preserve local communities and cultural heritage.
Arguments Against Restrictions:
Economic Benefits:
Foreign investment can stimulate economic growth, create jobs, and contribute to tax revenue.
Free Market Principles:
Some argue that restricting foreign investment violates free market principles and could harm international relations.
Discrimination:
Restrictions could be seen as discriminatory and could lead to negative perceptions of the country.
Current Landscape:
State-Level Restrictions:
Several states have introduced or enacted laws restricting foreign ownership of real estate, particularly agricultural land.
Federal Involvement:
The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) reviews foreign investments that could pose a national security risk, but its jurisdiction is limited.
Ongoing Debate:
The issue of foreign investment in real estate continues to be a subject of debate and discussion.
Examples of State Legislation:
Florida:
SB 264, which restricts foreign ownership of real estate, has been challenged in court.
Other States:
Many other states have considered or passed similar legislation, with variations in scope and application.

to a certain extent in order to make sure the majority of America's property is not even owned by its citizens. If too many foreign own the majority of property in America then it can lead to invasion.

Yes, only in extreme circumstances, unless there is a BIT or Investment Protection Agreement with another country.

Yes, but they should have the right to invest and make a profit from the construction of the property from the banks etc

Yes, and additionally there should be regulations put in place that corporate owners must rent out at least 90% of their units to primary residents or face penalties

Yes, domestic investors should be restricted as well. Houses should only be available for purchase by individuals for the purpose of living in.

It depends on if the foreigner lives in the United States, if they are in the US and just want to buy a home to live in then its ok, if they are not in the US and don't even have any family in the US then there should be some restriction.

Should uk labours prime minister can effects foreign affairs and housing agents are goods with supports by tentants issued by Australia prime minister only how it's works by wordings

It depends because you never know who could be purchasing the property. We should do background checks to be safe and monitor the property closely.

Yes and No. Foriegn investors should never be a thing. How can someone develop residential neighborhoods AND MONOTIZE OFF A COMMUNITY THEY DONT EVEN SERVE OR CONTRIBUTE TO?! makes no sense.

No, but make sure to require that those investors reside in those properties for at least 10 months of the year.

Yes, but only if the foreign investor has a connection to a hostile foreign government, and only residential land purchases should be limited.

I think we should restrict it to an extent, but not fully restrict them. While I think we should keep housing affordable to those local, I don't think we should restrict foreign people from buying homes. The limit that I propose is that if they resell, they have to sell for less than the property value.

yes this is America not a foreign place to sell to to other foreigners America land should belong to America that is how country's meet there down fall letting foreigners in

Yes, but only to ensure a competitive balance with American investors. Foreign investors are important to the American economy.

Yes but limit how many can be purchased and/ or impose a 15% non residency tax if it isn’t going to be used as a residence 75% of the year.

To some degree, but it's good to have a hot market as long as more housing can be responsibly built.

yes , but only for single family houses, restrict domestic and foreign corporations from being able hold a monopoly on the single family market

Yes, and the government should also restrict the purchase of residential properties for landlords/homeowners/realtors etc.

Yes, make it completely illegal and a criminal offense for anyone other than individual buyers to purchase property.

Not restric, but maybe put a limit on the number of properties that a foreign company can buy, or a foreign person.

No, as long as they can prove they are who they say they are and they are not a sanctioned individual or subject of criminal investigation

Yes, if the "investor" has foreign government links. But a private foreign citizen should be allowed upto a certain level.

Yes, but only for investors from companies hostile to the US or that have engaged in illegal activities against the US.

Foreign individuals buying a property that will be their residence part of the year should be allowed. But not property developers.

Any foreigner should only be allowed to purchase residential properties as a natural person in their own name not in a legal person meaning an LLC. But we should not restrict ownership of residential properties to any foreigner.

Yes, and all tax subsidies on properties worth more than $10 million bought by foreign investors should be revoked

No, if we are allowed to purchase properties in foreign areas, they should be allowed to purchase properties in the U.S.

Yes, but only for foreign non-residents. Non-citizen residents should be able to purchase residential properties.

I believe this is a very nuanced question and any legislation limiting those purchases should, at the least, be based on countries of origin and total U.S. real estate investments by investor. I'm sure there are more details than those two that should be considered.

Yes, but we should not target nor pry on buyers and investors from specific nations based on political or racial hate-mongering and paranoia.

There should be some regulation to what type of residential property, large scale housing should be allowed but single-family housing should not,

No, but foreign investors should only be able to purchase residential properties for personal use and not as investment vehicles

Like manufacturing, there is a critical mass of residential properties that should be owned by US residents.

Yes, but only in predefined cases. When the foreign owned property sits vacant, or housing availability for people who live in the area becomes scarce and drives up prices arbitrarily.

We have enough trouble with people speculating about real estate already. I don’t know whether it would help. And we can’t rely on the government to solve all our problems.

Foreign investors should be checked thoroughly to be made sure that they are not spies; there is a certain security risk with this, but it drives the economy in a good direction.

No, as long as foreign investors are not buying large quantities of residential properties decreasing the opportunities of Americans looking to buy a home.

They shouldn't restrict the purchase of residential properties by foreign investors, but they should limit it so that they don't get a ton of money without being a U.S. citizen.

Local citizens should have more priority in the housing market of their own country, but foreigners should still be allowed to buy a property granted they have rented and lived in said country for more than 3 years.

No, unless there is a housing issue in the area (less housing is available for the general public of the area).

As long as they aren't doing anything bad or with malicious intent, I don't see why they shouldn't be treated the same as legal U.S. citizens.

Yes, but any restrictions should be carefully considered to avoid negative impacts on economic growth.

The purchase of residential properties shouldn't be an option to begin with. However, in a decentralized, stateless society, the community should priotize housing it's own residence.

Yes, only if the non-citizens are proven to be "helpful" to the USA (not just sitting around and causing harm).

Neither and let United States companies and corporations do this because they just want to diverse into other countries and there markets not the United States because they turned there backs on use

No but investment should be limited to a quota, such as no more than 15% of property in a zip code can be owned by foreign investors.

I believe foreign people with the intent to live in a home should be able to, not foreign corporations.

Only individuals and families should be allowed to buy property. Not corporate investors. We have enough of that with our own people who are making housing unaffordable for average americans.

No, but only for non-single family residential properties. Big businesses should stay out of buying single-family residences.

Corporations/investors both foreign and domestic should be prohibited from purchasing residential properties without providing affordable housing.

Yes, Government should restrict residential property purchases by all corporate investors foreign and domestic

Yes, and corporations should be banned from buying residential properties to rent out at artificially inflated prices.
