Maybe revoke the incentives for those who currently already own multiple properties. No sense in putting an additional financial barrier to people attempting to purchase a home to live in. Investors will be slightly affected by this but it seems like the type of measure that would deter first-time homeowners altogether- therefore exacervating the problem of so many properties being taken by people whose primary interest is profiteering, and leaving those who just want to own the place they live in the dust.

Many incentives are for first time buyers, or single home buyers. Taxes depend on region, but everywhere I see treats primary homes, secondary homes, and rentals as different classes of real estate.
Now that doesn't mean the incentives aren't skewed. But I don't think landlords buying their 20th house are getting the same benefits as a first time buyer.
