That's not how FC plot ownership works. FC members bidding on an FC plot wins the house for the FC, not for an individual player.

Please tell me more about how uninformed you are about the systems you're trying to speak with such authority about. The OP described the hypothetical in which they relinquish their private home for the purposes of freeing up the plot in order to bid on it via FC bidding. Follow the subject.
