H-1B visa holders disappear from US housing market
Newsweek MSN News ^ | 10/15/2025 | Giulia Carbonaro

The number of new FHA mortgages granted to non-permanent residents has dropped to near-zero following the Trump administration’s recent executive orders targeting immigrants, according to new data.

In a March 26 letter, the Department of Housing and Urban Development announced that non-permanent residents in the United States, including H-1B visa holders, would no longer be eligible for mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), effective May 25.

The move, the letter said, was in line with President Donald Trump’s “commitment to safeguarding economic opportunities for U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents,” while also ensuring that “federal benefits, including access to FHA-insured mortgages, are reserved for individuals who hold lawful permanent resident status.”

The strictness of these requirements shows that the Trump administration’s new policies, combined with the current high cost of homebuying, have severely hindered non-permanent residents’ ability to step onto the property ladder, according to the latest data.

Expain. Is it your obvious pissing contest with him or his posting of H-1B related GOOD news? Which is it? Don’t say both, pick one.

Get back to me when it is illegal for non-citizens to own residential property, just like every other nation in the world with any care for its citizens.

Your post has a bolshevik smell.
Plenty of folks have bought homes in trailer parks or slums and WORKED their way up and out.
Grasshoppers vs Ants.

Unfortunately a lot of areas like cities and suburbs don’t allow trailer parks, so decent jobs are often far from where low level workers can afford to live. A lot of slums were formed when employed workers earned enough money to buy a car and move to the suburbs. Slums have been torn down, or renovated, and are often too expensive for our teachers, police, and firefighters to afford living there. So the choice becomes the outer suburbs with long commutes and major highway costs for all of us. Today in our cities, and close in suburbs, who is building homes with legal 80 sq. ft. bedrooms when they can get bigger payoff for larger ones.
