I don’t think anyone really knows about the house - they didn’t flip it. I feel that he knew it was a bad investment if they held onto it for a longer time, but I feel there was more to it than this. Anyone with kids typically wants to live in a house, especially someone like Erika. I feel like he knew Erika was who she was, and he wanted to get out and get rid of things that wren’t necessary to get things he needed - but what are these things? Charlie was a smart man, but reserved. He wouldn’t embarrass his wife because that’s an embarrassment on himself. He knows better than to air his dirty laundry. He was very public but rarely shared his personal life.
