Again, I suck at American listing and property so imma assume you're right.
My point still stands that if he sells it now he still have more money than before.
No, it might not be what he think he deserves but since he's begging for a literal dollar in superchats why not just take whatever money he can get?
He would never sell the house he has now to move in to the virginal woods, his ego wouldn't allow it.
I'm not saying you're proposing a bad plan, just that he think he is too good for his family home, I guarantee it.
But yeah, he probably just gonna sit on the property until it's a overgrown pile of rubble and he won't get more than a Marcos pizzas worth and somehow it will be everyone else's fault.
