Now married with 2 girls he's paying dearly for it everyday being emasculated by the MIL.

I'm not saying there's a right or wrong for your situation, but on paper isn't your buddy better off than you right now? Won't his kids be better off than your kids?
I'm sure some would say being emascualted by the MIL seems like a reasonable thing if it allowed them to own a detached house in Vancouver...
Again, to each their own. But I know I would take low blows from the MIL every so often if that meant I could own a detached house in one of the greatest cities in the world.
You own a house in Vancouver and you're already five levels up versus everyone else. Hard to pass that up.
