In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, Kathy Fettke breaks down the proposed "Trump Homes" concept that's gaining attention across the housing industry. The idea centers on a new pathway-to-ownership model designed to help first-time buyers afford homes—without driving down existing home prices.

We explore how the proposal could work, why major homebuilders and investors are paying attention, and how this approach differs from traditional affordability solutions like rate cuts, subsidies, or price corrections. We'll also look at the potential risks, unanswered questions, and what this could mean for housing supply, renters, and long-term market stability.

If you're watching housing affordability, policy trends, or the future of homeownership, this is a story worth understanding.
