The ability to purchase a 2nd property is much more common than you may think.
It may cover their actual costs, but when looking to be approved for a new mortgage like you're alluding to, they can't use all of the rent they're charging. Usually a 50-80% offset depending on the lender.

Of course if their income more than satisfies what they're looking for, the above is a moot point. But that offset can be tricky sometimes.
