Some real estate experts aren’t totally sold on President Donald Trump’s latest proposed policies on residential real estate leading to relief for the Las Vegas Valley housing crisis. Trump’s other policy statement was to direct Congress to act on banning large institutional investors from buying more single-family homes.

A new report says investors own 24.84% of Nevada’s single-family homes, equating to about 303,000 properties. That’s 6% higher than the national average and the seventh highest share in the nation behind Wyoming (30.9%), Maine (29.76%), Montana (26.78%), Alaska (26.65%), Hawaii (25.96%), and New Hampshire (25.04%).
