In the case of the latest gift, the house is in a city so the yard is pretty minimal and the house is newly renovated. Property tax is likely substantial. Fortunately, the bride is an associate at a major law firm and the husband does data analytics (or something close, probably not as high-powered as she is but decent income). I think they can cover property tax. They won’t be slackers. They will likely just save what they would have spent for rent/mortgage/accumulation of downpayment.
