President Donald Trump on Jan. 7 announced he’s taking steps to bar large investors from purchasing more single-family homes, in a bid to offset concerns about inflation and the cost of living.

“For a very long time, buying and owning a home was considered the pinnacle of the American Dream. It was the reward for working hard, and doing the right thing,” Trump wrote. “But now ... that American Dream is increasingly out of reach for far too many people, especially younger Americans.”
