...Still, a growing number of developers nationwide are increasingly working "anti-investor clauses" and other "flip-buster" weapons into their sales contracts. Many now demand that buyers pledge in writing that they'll actually occupy the home they buy (or at least disclose whether the unit will be a primary or secondary residence or merely an investment). Others, like Robins, limit the number of units a person can purchase in any one development; and some, like StarPointe Properties of Arizona, are requiring investors to close on (and take title to) the property they're buying.
