I won't repeat what I said about flippers since I replied to multiple other comments but they would still exist but provide flipping/renovation as a service(see other comments).

People can sell whenever they want, my restriction is the profit margin. I have no problem with that margin being more and more over time so long as that rate is nationally set to be uniform.

Are you going to cap the amount that flippers can lose as well? Why not? And, why should their profit be uniform? (Some flippers are better than others.)

Flipping as a service requires waiting by buyers and/or sellers which costs them money. Why is that a good thing? (A renovation may take 6-12 months.)
