No, he could “move” to Visduh and turn the property into a rental within a year, using it to offset his $2000/mo rent closer to the coast.

There’s a big difference between Visduh and Phoenix, actually. One happens to be in a desert hell. The other happens to be ~10 mi from some of the finest coastline in the USA — whether you use it is up to you, but 15 min drive is a lot closer than 6 hours’.

And yes, I have no problem with using an employer’s offer to acquire rental property, then dropping the employer like a hot potato when their usefulness has expired. They do that all the time with employees; nothing wrong with turning the tables a bit.
