Would an idea like this but applied at increasingly higher rates as you own more homes work? For example, owning a single home, you pay a certain amount, if any. Want to buy a vacation house? Start paying n% LVT. A third vacation house? n*1.2% LVT etc. Are you a pension fund buying up 80,000 single family homes? Tax should be so high on owning this many homes you wouldn’t want to do it.

In my state we already have this, it's called a homestead exemption, however it only applies to the first house.
