ROAD to Housing Act 2026: What Real Estate Investors With 350+ Single-Family Homes Must Know Now
The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act passed the Senate 89–10 and the House 396–13. It’s moving toward the President’s desk — and if you own or control 350 or more single-family homes, it directly restricts what you can buy next.
The bill bans large institutional investors from purchasing additional single-family homes once they cross the 350-home threshold. It doesn’t force you to sell anything you already own. It doesn’t touch apartment buildings. But the definition of “investment control” is broad — catching GPs, managing members, investment advisors, and equity holders above 25% in any entity owning single-family homes.
The House removed the Senate’s controversial 7-year forced-sale rule for build-to-rent. Whether that survives Senate reconciliation is the biggest open question remaining.
Here’s what the bill actually says, who it affects, and what MAREI members should do right now.
