Engrossed House Bryan Posthumus (R)
Plain English Summary

Michigan House Bill 6243 aims to restrict large institutional investors from purchasing single-family homes in Michigan. Specifically, it prohibits entities that own more than 100 such properties and manage at least $375 million in assets from acquiring additional single-family homes. However, the bill allows exceptions for investors involved in build-to-rent programs, renovate-to-rent initiatives that meet structural standards, and homeownership assistance schemes that offer financial support or credit reporting benefits to renters. Additionally, acquisitions resulting from foreclosure or loss mitigation efforts are permitted, provided the properties are sold within a commercially reasonable timeframe. The legislation also allows for the transfer of homes already owned by these investors prior to the law's effective date.
