About this episode

Vaibhav Puranik discusses Trump's executive order on Wall Street's involvement in single-family home purchases and its implications for homebuyers and housing affordability.

When Trump moved to curb Wall Street’s role in buying single-family homes, it sparked instant debate. Was this real relief for homebuyers—or just a symbolic move? Who is the policy actually targeting? And can restricting investors really fix housing affordability? In this episode, Vaibhav Puranik breaks down what the executive order changes, what it leaves untouched, and why the real housing problem runs much deeper than Wall Street. A must-listen for anyone watching the future of housing, policy, and real estate investing.
