If the parents can afford to buy, I like the idea. If it were me though, I would make both daughters pay the same rent and treat the house as an investment, not a charity. You could offer a reduced rent so as to help them out and still cover a mortgage while the investment grows.

Giving your child free lodgings while at University is laudable but untimately self-defeating as University is when you need to learn to budget and if the parents don't cut some strings now, they may well end up paying more in the long run.
