For years, Meredith Klein had been spending Thanksgiving and other vacations near the Outer Banks, in North Carolina, where her parents own a vacation home.
Last fall, she, her husband, James, and their children were sitting on the pier when one said, “Wouldn’t it be cool if we could have that house?” It was the house next door that had been rented out for 17 years. Relatives owned it.
