Summary

This bill establishes the End Predatory Home Flipping Act, which imposes a transfer tax on residential properties with one to three units when sold within two years of a prior sale. The tax rate is 65 percent of the profit (difference between current and prior sale price) if sold within one year, and 50 percent of the profit if sold between one and two years after the prior sale. The tax does not apply if the property is conveyed to a family member, if there is demonstrated financial hardship, if the property was inherited, if it is new construction, if the profit is ten percent or less, or in foreclosure-related transactions. The tax expires two years after the prior conveyance, and the bill takes effect 90 days after enactment.
