We came to find out later that it was an elderly couple who were liquidating all assets and wanted to do some traveling in their twilight years...

So the elderly grand parent finds out the kids have little time for them now.Money is great, business success and all of that but you have to be present in the moment and enjoy today.

And here's why: As @Nick Elder points out, in just the past month, we've seen 6.7% appreciation for SFHs in Denver and almost 20% in the last year.

It hastened the deaths of hundreds of thousands of the very elderly who would have died within a few years, and it hastened the inflection point at which maturing families decide to leave NYC, as they always have within a few years. 

They have acquired them from elderly owners who were duped into selling them for less than market value and fees that were shady and possibly illegal.  

The risk of driving or flying on a plane also doesn't exponentially increase among elders like it does with covid-19.

They are elderly, healthy, retired, live very comfortably, make minimal to no noise at all, very clean and they pay on time all the time.
