I can't see why she would not do it since it amounts to giving you exactly the same 100K. If you buy for 80K you are putting zero effort into making the 100K anyway. 

What she should really do is sell it then loan you the money to invest. You could be 50/50 partners on multiple properties and both benefit.

Unless she does not know what the place is worth and you do not want her to know.
