I search for Pottery barn and restoration hardware and pier one and I have done very very well with furniture that looks brand new for a fraction of the cost.

And for a fraction of the cost of living on the coast.

I'm not sure if its considered two separate actions or at closing she really is gifting you a fractional share of the property/Title so it will change her cost basis and thus there wouldn't be a capital gain. 

Due to Covid we are seeing many people moving out of higher priced areas and move to more affordable "Zoom Towns" where they can work at a fraction of a price with more space.

@Craig OrputDave's right, the TIC structure is the way to hold fractional ownership in a real estate venture with the ability to go your separate ways upon the exit of the project.

The renters are very good for the most part all have great salaries and other qualifications.I have a network of painters, hvac, handymen etc that are a fraction of the cost (the worker that quotes me does the work personally.Wow 13 bids reminds me of 2008/2009 even during the mortgage housing crisis there were that many offers around Loudoun even on short sales but price did drop significantly. 

Second homes can be used a STR or fractional rentals for part of the year.

That's not likely so you'll probably be looking at a specific Tenants in Common project or a Delaware statutory trust as the products most commonly used as passive fractional replacements that make decent holding places for a few years while a market turns around. 

Settle debts for a fraction of what you owe from the cashflow, let your tenants pay for your life.

Properties listed on Zillow and Redfin are not the best options for investors and they represent a small fraction of listed properties.
