Think owning house is more prudent at this stage.
Owning a house is better than having fiat but you have to pay reparation costs, taxes and the upside is very limited
I only wish someone could've talked him into renting the house out or something of the likes, and investing % of the rent money into the btc

oh well internet randoms for financial advice is pin the tail on the donkey esque.
Yeah, that's what I'd have done. Cash cow right there. Make yourself a slumlord and reinvest the profit in BTC.
