Small-scale real estate investors and house flippers — many of whom operate as small businesses — would be temporarily locked out of bidding on government-foreclosed properties for 15 days. The bundling prohibition further limits their ability to acquire multiple properties efficiently. This reduces their access to a common source of investment inventory, though the private foreclosure market remains unaffected.
“A covered entity may not bundle covered properties during the 15-day period beginning on the date that the covered property is listed for sale by the eligible entity.”
