Small-scale real estate investors who own between 16 and 25 single-family homes as part of a rental business would face a new 1% tax on every additional home they purchase. While these investors are far smaller than giant corporate landlords, they still cross the bill's threshold and would see increased costs when expanding their portfolios, which could discourage small-scale property investment.
