IMO extra properties should be heavily taxed. Say you have more than 3, it should basically not be profitable anymore. No one wins if people are hoarding houses

Would a duplex count as one property or two? How about a 4-plex?

Would this apply to apartment complexes as well? As in, it won't be profitable to own more than 3 complexes? Would that result in most capital going into megacomplexes and fewer people wanting to buy small apartment complexes with only, say, 10 units?

Not disagreeing with you, but there are nuances involved.

Ya I think per building would be a good metric. We need higher density housing. Megacomplexes accomplish this.

Totally agreed. Petite landlordism is causing is a LOT of economic damage to Gen Z and even younger millenials. It's a much larger problem than REITs, IMO.
