Old man did set aside $30k cash tied to house as he was thinking the kids would make it a rental. ( suggests, maybe, the kids don’t have enough cashflow )

No rental savvy. Also, not huge interest in becoming landlords. Good point re sibling issues. Including emotional attachment to home they grew up in. So many Chiefs..

I was fixated on not loosing the tax base. But these people issues do outweigh the financial side.

I think the only 2 realistic options is for one the them to buy out the others or just sell it outright.
