"You want to buy another house?" asked Helen and Troy with wide eyes and jaws on the floor.
"But we already own a house," Helen added.
"I want to expand my investment portfolio by owning more real estate. It's a fool proof investment, and it would never drop in value," Ren explained.
"Besides, I don't want to start a family on top of a skyscraper. Owning a house and lot is still the best."
Troy nodded in agreement. "That makes sense, but you can also buy a single-family home," he suggested. "It's much cheaper."
Ren shook his head. He knew that a single-family home wouldn't be enough if he wanted to have children in the future. He wanted many children since he was an only child.
"Well, as long as that's what you want, then I don't have any objections." Troy sighed. "But make sure that you know what you're doing. Real estate still has taxes even if you're not using those properties. That's how screwed taxes are."
