If it’s that big of a problem for their life, why not just sell the house and be multi-millionaires? It’s a non-story. Maybe they should’ve taken that into consideration.

So, the house is now valued at 6x the original value? If they sold it at only 4-5x it would still be a huge win.

They want the house, not the money. Now they’ll be forced to sell to some rich person. Doesn’t sound like a win to me

They wanted a new, two-story house, but with a tax loophole to save money.
