I didn't want to hijack that thread with questions, so here goes.

1. Is that accurate?

2. When did they start that practice?

3. What would the developer's likely motivations be for such a covenant? Wouldn't it make the market for their homes more desirable if folks wanting to buy as an investment were also able to buy the new homes?

I'm not understanding this at all.
1. Yes it is true
2 as of last fall restrictions were put in place on specific neighborhoods
3 i asked the sales team and was told that once a neighborhood has exceeded a number of new owners that are immediately leasing, then the developer triggers this clause. Intent to maintain TV as a retirement home community vs a transient rental community

The restriction is for 1 year from purchase date. Much like the similar 1 year resale restriction to minimize house flipping
