It\u2019s also possible that key research projects and companies that depend on international experts will suffer. At least in Ohio, that is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Restrictions on the right to transfer deeds raise red flags. So do laws that strip rights and privileges from people who\u2019ve done nothing themselves to deserve any penalty. Similar lawmaking in Florida is already drawing legal actions that claim it is unconstitutional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Push in Multiple States<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-large is-style-rounded is-style-rounded--1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/a-push-in-multiple-states-682x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6585\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/a-push-in-multiple-states-682x1024.webp 682w, https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/a-push-in-multiple-states-200x300.webp 200w, https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/a-push-in-multiple-states-768x1154.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/a-push-in-multiple-states.webp 818w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the bill\u2019s sponsors told <em>Newsweek <\/em>that if a current green card holder has real estate, that person\u2019s ownership will be \u201cgrandfathered in.\u201d But the bill\u2019s language indicates that it could even upend settled expectations of people who have already lawfully bought property. At least the Senate\u2019s version says impacted noncitizens would have to give up their properties within two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ohio\u2019s House Bill 1 is part of a push in several states to scrutinize non-citizen land ownership, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohiorealtors.org\/blog\/2170\/ohio-realtors-calls-for-balanced-changes-to-foreign-property-ownership-bill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ohio REALTORS<\/a>\u00ae website states. As the House Public Safety Committee goes over the bill text, the real estate agents\u2019 group points out some problems:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To the extent this legislation applies to permanent residents, their households will be prevented from buying homes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The bill describes critical infrastructure in a sweeping manner. It could cover most Ohio real estate, far exceeding the bill\u2019s stated interest in high-risk sites.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ordinary buyers and sellers and even local officials would have difficulty complying. There is no public map of the infrastructure to which the bill applies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Parties to a transaction wouldn\u2019t be notified in advance if they were transferring deeds in affected areas. People could be punished for innocent involvement in newly outlawed deed transfers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Presumably, new infrastructure could be created \u2014 putting limits on practically all of Ohio. Many people and groups are raising additional questions. Among the bill\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/legislature.ohio.gov\/legislation\/136\/hb1\/committee\">opponents<\/a> are the Chinese Association of Greater Toledo, as well as OPAWL, which consists of Asian, Asian American, or Pacific Islander (AAPI) feminists, and also YUSRA, a grassroots Muslim-led coalition promoting equal opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Miles and Miles of Texas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Texas, Senate Bill 17 restricts land purchases by certain foreigners characterized as national security risks. One of the bill\u2019s proponents says it\u2019s about \u201csecuring Texas land and natural resources and making sure that this precious resource does not fall prey to adversarial nations and oppressive regimes that wish to do us harm.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was amended to exempt lawful permanent residents. But some important amendments were abandoned. Medical students and researchers on visas, as well as performers and athletes, have not been exempted, for example. So, here again, key research projects and companies that attract and depend on international talent would be hurt by the bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">International buyers aren\u2019t exactly descending on Texas real estate, but to Abraham George, who leads the Texas Republicans, the bill is a priority. Lily Trieu, who leads Asian Texans for Justice, says the bill is making people anxious that racial profiling is being etched into the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Texas House already enacted a law letting the governor decide what countries to name on the list of international risks. Federally listed national security threats are China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. Under Texas laws, the list of countries designated as risks could keep growing. That means one person, the governor, could receive \u201cunfettered power to add whatever country he wants to in this bill,\u201d says Rep. Gene Wu, who chairs the state\u2019s House Democratic Caucus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is the definition of overreach.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once innocent parties are punished unfairly for the positions taken by foreign governments, political resentment and a sense of injustice is likely to ensue. This could bring a political backlash that impacts the lawmakers in the 2026 midterm elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">International Buyers Steer Away From Florida\u2019s Condo Market<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Agents who work in Miami-Dade, Broward, Martin, and Palm Beach counties have issued some startling statistics. Condo sales to international buyers in these formerly bustling Florida markets have dropped to just 10% of deed transfers last year, per the Miami Association of REALTORS\u00ae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2018, half the condo sales included international buyers. Many of them were from Latin American countries. Familiar weather wasn\u2019t the state\u2019s only draw. International buyers wanted to invest in the United States because it was a safe market. In their home countries, governments might have confiscated their property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As condo analyst Peter Zalewski told<em> The<\/em> <em>New York Times, <\/em>\u201cforeign buyers bailed out the South Florida condo market\u201d 15 or so years back, after the housing crash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, the Florida condo market is dealing with older infrastructure, fiercer hurricanes, and a rising sea level. There\u2019s talk of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/condo-bubble-whats-going-on-in-florida-now\/\">condo bubble<\/a>, because the pool of interested buyers is so quickly evaporating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Can Florida depend on international buyers to prop up the market and pay exorbitant insurance bills? Unlikely, says Zalewski.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNot only are they still dealing with the currency issue, but add in the immigration policy and the disrespect.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overbroad and zealous scrutiny of international residents under the banner of national security creates its own kind of harms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-accent-5-background-color has-background has-small-font-size is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Supporting References<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.billtrack50.com\/billdetail\/1802864#:~:text=This%20bill%20enacts%20the%20Ohio,of%20real%20property%20in%20Ohio.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ohio Property Protection Act<\/a>, introduced Jan. 23, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anastasia Kotkovskaya for Ohio REALTORS\u00ae blog, via <em>OhioRealtors.org<\/em>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohiorealtors.org\/blog\/2170\/ohio-realtors-calls-for-balanced-changes-to-foreign-property-ownership-bill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ohio REALTORS Calls for Balanced Changes to Foreign Property Ownership Bill<\/a> (May 20, 2025).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sunil Dhawan for <em>Financial Express<\/em> (India) published by Express Group at <em>FinancialExpress.com<\/em>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialexpress.com\/business\/investing-abroad-green-card-holders-could-face-property-buying-restrictions-under-new-ohio-bill-3866856\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Green Card Holders Could Be Banned to Buy Land, Own Properties in this U.S. State<\/a> (Jun. 3, 2025).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/legiscan.com\/TX\/bill\/SB17\/2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Texas Senate Bill 17<\/a>, enrolled May 31 2025; sent to governor Jun. 1, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sameea Kamal for <em>The Texas Tribune<\/em>, via <em>TexasTribune.org<\/em>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.texastribune.org\/2025\/05\/08\/texas-foreign-land-purchase-senate-bill-17\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Texas Legislature 2025 \u2013 Texas House Advances Bill That Would Prohibit Land Sales to People and Entities From Certain Countries<\/a> (published May 8, 2025; updated May 9, 2025).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Julia Echikson for<em> The New York Times<\/em>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/06\/05\/realestate\/florida-condos-sales-foreign-buyers.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Foreign Buyers Are Fleeing the South Florida Condo Market \u2013 Sales to International Buyers Fell to 10 Percent of Transactions Last Year<\/a> (Jun. 5, 2025; republished from the printed piece in Section RE, Page 2 of the New York edition, headlined <em>South Florida\u2019s Condo Sales Drop<\/em>). \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And as linked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More on topics: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/co-owning-property-with-a-non-u-s-citizen-keep-these-points-in-mind\/\">Owning U.S. real estate with a noncitizen<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/navigating-oklahomas-new-land-ownership-law-a-guide-to-compliance\/\">Limiting foreign ownership of Oklahoma land<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photo sources: <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:U.S._Immigration.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Simrin<\/a>, via Wikimedia Commons (licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0 Int\u2019l); and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/a-man-cooking-with-his-daughter-8189444\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ron Lach<\/a>, via Pexels\/Canva.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ohio lawmakers are debating a bill that could restrict non-citizens, including green card holders, from purchasing land in large segments of Ohio.
