He told a story that might have been mostly true -- that an "elderly couple" who "hardly used their condo, maybe once a year" wanted a "nice family" (lol) to take care of it for them while they were gone. Chrissy played the role of good Christian family man, and got "an incredible deal" on the rent.
The reason I think this is mostly true is because it was a rare moment whrere Chrissy admitted that he was paying much LESS for something than it appeared on the surface. Remember, he's always trying to come off as rich and carefree, and getting an "incredible deal" on his rented condo doesn't really fit in with that very well. The only hole in this story? The actual owners of the condo aren't elderly -- they're only a little bit older than me.
However, this would explain how it was already furnished -- something quite unusual for a rented condo in that area of Vegas. Indeed, Chrissy's bargain rent probably came with two agreements -- that he'd "take care" of the place (meaning make sure everything stays in working order), and that he'd vacate ocasionally for the owners to visit Vegas. So he didn't want to give up that sweetheart deal, and thus he stayed in Vegas. However, as Rivers theorized and Forum Wars verified, the lease is up. Vegas is booming, and the owner probably wants to get some real money for it at this point. Remember -- Chrissy moved in right as the lockdowns were starting. The owner likely isn't keen on throwing money away as Chrissy stays at some absurdly low rate.
It's also possible that the owner googled Chrissy and realized he's not quite the nice Christian man he portrays himself to be.
I agree that Texas, Ohio, and Florida are the most likely landing points.
The $227k thing is still a mystery. My theory remains that it was someone else's money -- probably a fool giving it to Chrissy to gamble for him.
