What is the “pilot program” in 2012 that allows private investors to easily buy homes mentioned in this video? : RealEstate

Hi all,

I watched a youtube video recently that mentioned that in 2012, federal government passed a “pilot program” that allow private investors to buy homes:

And found this article with same statement:

So what are the details of this “pilot program”? Are private investors not allowed to buy residence before 2012?

I am trying to get more details but couldn’t find any.

Appreciate your help!
