As stated previously, his Son was in college in Colorado, so for college in state costs, he purchased the home on your favorite golf course. My Sister's daughter moved in and she acts as the house keeper.
He bought it "right" as shown by the 10 % or more appreciation of $ 150,000 + in less than a year. Sometimes luck is better than planning.
The Son didn't care for the Colorado college and has transferred, to an unknown State to me, new College, just not in Colo.
So now he "lives" in Philly, wherever he claims he 'lives' for tax purposes it is no longer in Colo.
He's a nice man and is doing well.
