He and his husband are into the house flipping thing. I kept reading about them and found this:

Since the 1990s, Bessent has bought and sold more than $127 million worth of U.S. real estate, including at least 20 properties in his native South Carolina, New York, Florida and elsewhere. Bessent, 62, has a penchant for historic homes, often restoring and living in the properties he buys. In Manhattan, he has lived in storied prewar buildings such as the Dakota, 1 Sutton Place South and 720 Park Avenue. His other purchases have ranged from a beach house in Provincetown, Mass., to a country home in the North Carolina mountains. Bessent also has a home in London and owns property in Lyford Cay, a private community in the Bahamas. If confirmed, Bessent plans to live in the Washington, D.C., area, according to a person with knowledge of his thinking.

I wonder if they are doing the same now. They probably don't have to worry about where to live since he was loaded before he took the position.
