#Democratic lawmakers intro'd a bill Tuesday aimed at curtail'g investor activity in the #housing market that can drive up home prices.

The Stop Predatory Investing Act, by Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), would restrict investors who purchase 50 or more single-family rentals frm deducting interest or depreciation on those properties from their taxes.

“Too many Ohio community homes are bought up by #WallStreet tht could have gone to 1st time homebuyers.” -Sen Brown
