A man in New Jersey made a thoughtful gesture for his son by purchasing a four-bedroom house in Pennsylvania when the son decided to settle there after completing college.

The man, John, saw it as an investment and a way to maintain a close connection with his son, Mark, especially as he frequently commuted from New Jersey to Manhattan for work.

Initially, the arrangement worked well, with John covering the house’s expenses like taxes, services, and maintenance, while Mark was responsible for the rest. Life was smooth until Mark met the love of his life, Lisa, and decided to make the Pennsylvania house their shared home.
