Would this benefit my parents and I?

[Jeff Pavalone]

My parents have  a rental property that they are trying to sell in Pennsylvania. They currently live in Idaho, but are going to be moving in a year or two to Arkansas or Missouri to find a place to retire. 

I currently live in Kansas City and I am trying to start my portfolio, but I just graduated from college and I am trying to pay off my student loans. 

Would it be smart for my parents to invest in a house in Kansas City when they sell their current house (in Pennsylvania) to avoid taxes and then sell it to me when they are ready to move into a house they would like to retire at?
