Or renovate, or sort out complicated inheritance stuff after someone dies

hmm. good thing i’m not in charge of this sort of thing i guess 🤔 i had in mind specifically speculative purchases, i was reading about the zillow thing
You’d want to ban something like flipping. But then you get people that need to sell quickly and they get screwed. Turns out, when you mess with free markets, usually someone gets hurt

In Toronto, they have a tax if you try to sell a house without living in it for a year, dissuades flipping to a large degree
