If you buy the home off them directly, you can cut out the middle man (no agent) save on sales costs and then create another source of income for your family while moving your parents closer to the family.

If you sell one, you could get one more property mortgaged, but if you try to get two then it will probably really be cutting it thin on the DTI and I'm sure it will be hard to buy the second one all-cash unless you are looking in an area that you are uncomfortable in.
