August 01, 2025

LCA Quick Poll:

Texas just passed Senate Bill 17, effective September 1st, banning Chinese, Russian, Iranian, and North Korean nationals from purchasing real estate in the state. Supporters argue it protects national security and keeps more properties available for domestic buyers.

Critics say it restricts the free market and could reduce valuable foreign investment. Other states are watching closely as this policy could reshape real estate investment flows nationwide.
