This makes a bit more sense now.I expect he'll either (a) flip it for more profit, or (b) turn it into yet another rental property. Probably the latter. He has four rental properties, and they'd mentioned they were selling one to help fund their new $1.1M place. Much of his life over the last two or three decades has been consumed with the rental stuff...fixing up places, doing repairs, dealing with tenants. He has a busy job as a top exec at a credit union, but then he layers the rental crap on top of that. What's ultimately the most bothersome in all of this is the effect on my sister's quality of life. She had a tiring 20 years as a second grade teacher. But then she has him running around at all hours of the nights and weekends handling the rentals. Instead of focusing on the two of them, BIL has been consumed with his love of money. And now, he drags that into family matters as well and forever ruins ongoing family events. They've got their dream home on a lake ...but through his greed that has alienated the siblings, I fear that it turns into something of a prison of loneliness and isolation for my sister. But damn, they're getting an extra $10,000!
He is treating this as he would his business.
