Upcoming legislative session bill would limit corporations buying single family homes in Nevada
LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – For many families, the American Dream of home ownership now seems out of reach. There’s a push to change that and bring housing costs down in Nevada by limiting corporate buyers from pricing out families and individual buyers.
“You wouldn’t even know it, but this street, this whole entire street, is owned by a corporate investor. They built the houses and then they rent them out,” explained State Senator Dina Neil, who represents District Four including the North Las Vegas neighborhood where she met FOX5 for an interview.
“In this environment, the corporate owner is the only one reaping the benefit of the asset, not the family itself. Our Nevada citizens are actually being locked out,” Neal contended. Neal wants single family homes to be affordable for Nevada families.
“Fifteen percent of the market is owned by corporate investors and so this is going to change the narrative,” Neal argued. Her bill for the upcoming legislative session next month would require an investor to register with the Secretary of State, file as their deed as an investor, and limit them to buying 100 single family homes in Nevada per year.
“The reason why I’m able to legally do this is because the legislature has police powers when we’re in a crisis…We’ve been in a housing crisis for over four or five years,” Neal reported.
A CCSD teacher of ten years who wants to remain anonymous recently reached out to FOX5 about being unable to afford a home in the Las Vegas area.
“I think the average teacher that has either just started teaching or has around ten years of experience are right around the $60,000 salary mark and there’s just no homes in our budget,” the teacher stated. About half her income goes to rent. Still, she is cutting costs wherever she can to save up to hopefully one day afford a down payment.
“As a professional, you go to school and you get this degree to really help your community and we’re in this position where we can’t even live the lifestyle we want in this profession and it’s just becoming just very sad,” she confessed.
Neal brought a similar bill last legislative session but says it was vetoed by the governor. That is not deterring her from trying again.
Earlier this year, Nevada Senator Jacky Rosen also proposed legislation to go after corporate investors who she says are price gouging Nevadans and inflating costs in the housing market legislation called the HOME Act. It was referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.

RENO, Nev. (KOLO) – The Wolf Pack are headed on a road trip! A whole group of Nevada coaches, student athletes and staff are hitting the road across Northern Nevada to spread the brand of Wolf Pack athletics.
The trip will span over three days and over a thousand miles across the region, giving them the chance to connect with fans, alumni, and all the communities across Northern Nevada.
“It’s a really fun opportunity to get out in a lot of communities in Northern Nevada that often times come to Reno to support the Wolf Pack,” said head football coach Jeff Choate. “It’s an opportunity for us to get our brand out locally and just interact with some great people.”
The Coaches Caravan kicked off their journey Monday morning in Carson City, gathering at the Nevada State Capitol, greeted by a group of Wolf Pack faithful who were beyond excited to have the opportunity for interaction.
“So much about what college athletics is are bringing communities together. There’s nothing that brings a community together like sports,” said athletic director Stephanie Rempe. “It lets them get to know our coaches and athletes and the things that they’re trying to do to represent the university and the state of Nevada. Getting to know them and meet them makes you care that much more and makes them want to come support and cheer on the Pack!”
The Coaches Caravan continues through Northern Nevada until their final stop on Wednesday afternoon, meeting with thirteen communities around the region in total.

The Las Vegas Raiders have orchestrated many groundbreaking moves this offseason, but none as important as the impact they made at a fundraising event.
Over the weekend, the Raiders hosted the Silver & Black Gala, raising $2.5 million for mental health in Nevada. Sunday marked the third time the organization had hosted the event, which has produced a tremendous turnout.
Several individuals spoke during the event, including Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis and president Sandra Douglass Morgan, who each highlighted the importance of acknowledging mental health.
Davis’ Thoughts
- “We’re here to raise money for mental health, which is one of the most important things we can all deal with,” Davis said. “Every one of us is impacted by mental health and our families, friends, or anywhere else, we are all directly affected. That’s why it’s so critical to raise money for our community. We’re grateful for you all, and appreciate you being here.”
Morgan’s Thoughts
“Mental health remains one of the most urgent issues across Nevada,” Morgan said. “Through the Silver & Black Gala, the Raiders Foundation is helping expand access to trusted, community-based resources that meet people where they are. This year’s recipients reflect the depth and complexity of that work, supporting our community in schools, clubhouses, homes, shelters, and family systems statewide.”
The Raiders also honored former player Carl Nassib and NFL broadcaster Jay Glazer on Sunday night as the winners of the Commitment to Excellence award. Here is what each of them had to say.
Glazer’s Thoughts
- “First, this is incredible what the Raiders are doing,” Glazer said. “God blessed me with the ability to communicate, so I’m going to use that to try and help other people. When we’re willing to share our scars, we turn them into strength—into something that connects us as teammates with nothing to hide. That’s what builds a true team, a championship team. I’m proud to stand with you and be part of this team tonight.”
Nassib’s Thoughts
- “It is truly a privilege to be up here,” Nassib said. “We’re creating space for people to be vulnerable—and that work is truly lifesaving. It’s not about being perfect, it’s about showing up and reminding people they’re not alone.”
Overall Thoughts
This has been a tremendous event over the last few years, and the Raiders’ organization has done a great job of raising awareness for mental health. This will be an event that the team will continue to host in the future.
