If you rent to a related party ie nephew you better make sure that nephew is paying rent that is comparable to non-related party. If less you will have issue of gifting to nephew. The IRS will be looking for a tax return with rental income for your parents which will incur taxes. When renting it is customary to take depreciation against rental income which will muddle up MERP recovery settling out value of house. You lose lock on property taxes in some places since it's not owner occupied any more. Plus difference in insurance for a rental property that will also need nephew to have renters insurance. And if state income tax is assessed it may cause other problems.
