However if tying this money up with a property for you to live in during school won’t prevent them from enjoying the lifestyle they're used to, retiring as planned, etc. then seeing how they offered to do this I would take them up on it.

Nearly a year ago I became very interested in investing and retiring early, and i've involved my partner in the "lifestyle" as well! 

If done properly you can have enough income to maintain a pretty good lifestyle while you shop for your dream job. 

@Peter Ricca, as a primary residence, I think this suits your needs and lifestyle.

If you are ok with waiting until you are 59 1/2 years or older to have full access to the 401k contributions and gains (penalty free) than your path might look different than someone who wants to have a monthly passive cashflow that meets or exceeds their monthly expenses by age 40.Trying to amass a large nest egg in financial products such as a 401k, IRA, etc will require you to save & invest 50% of your income to gain 1 year of paid expenses in retirement, which assumes similar health status and lifestyle choices once you get there.If you are interested in economic independence earlier rather than later, invest only the 5% to get the full employer 401k match and then focus on positive cashflow investments to start replacing your active income (your job).

You won't have any other income coming into to support your bills/lifestyle.  

Then maybe you can house hack and rent the other rooms if that aligns with your current lifestyle?

As long as you don't really consider it an investment, and solely as a lifestyle decision (bigger place with a yard, good schools for the kids, no homeless people on every corner like Oakland), then you really can't go wrong.My primary SFR in the Oakland hills is a horrible investment (although it has appreciated 20% in the last 2 years), but it aids in a better lifestyle for my family.
