A lot of the time this involves the parents taking out a cash back mortgage on their home (which was owned free and clear) to give the kids money to help with a down payment. The problem arises when people that do this have more than one kid as the banks will only lend so much money against a house. Also, the parents may end up having to go back to work from retirement in order to make payments on their own house.
People need to understand that their home isn't a piggy bank. Don't kike your house!
