Why he is lying?

So I met a man at work. He asked me on a date. And we started dating. From beginning I asked him what he is looking for he said every relationship starts with the friendship so we need to start with friendships and see if we can build anything else. He is avoiding or turning those questions into something else. He is very nice treats me good. We talk a lot but we don’t spend a lot of time together. All week he stays in lumberton nc because he works there and only weekend he comes to Raleigh nc. And whenever he is in Raleigh he comes in the morning to see me at my place or after he leaves back to lumberton he comes to see me. I drove few times to lumberton (2 hours) to see him. I live in Raleigh. Whenever he is in Raleigh he doesn’t communicate well. He says that he stays at his sisters house whenever he is in Raleigh. And he said he own a house in Raleigh but renting it to someone else. once he placed an order with me (I work at retail). He said don’t ship it to my place, ship it to your apartment or store that I work. I said ok. My friend works in a place that she can check the owners of the houses. And she found out he is not the owner of that house that he told me. So I felt suspicious about it. Currently he is traveling to other country and I decided to just stop at the billing address that he gave me. To just see who lives there. And I was shocked I saw his car was parked there. But lights were off so no one was there. So seems like he stays at that house and he lied to me. But why? Is he hiding something? What you guys think? Little background about us. He is divorced 48 years old and has adult children. I am 35 divorced have 2 kids too. And our relationship is friends with benefits. He acts like my bf but he doesn’t want a gf. He introduced me to his best friends and to his son
