But I also did a fractional investment on a development in TX that puts me in a first lien position (with the other investors).

This goal is a tiny fraction of what people in the space I know are doing already. 4) Have my VA's find places to volunteer where we travel, and put google calendar reminders in w/ alerts to make sure we have the volunteer events in our calendar and our heads. 

There would be some peace of mind doing this, BUT, If I had to in an emergency, I could also buy a paid off house in Aberdeen for a fraction of my primary residence mortgage balance and have huge tax advantaged cash flow from a mortgaged rental that has seasoned nicely with rents increasing year after year, and be FI AND close enough to manage my rentals AND within driving distance to a decent job market (Olympia and Tacoma). 

These homes then became the targets of thieves and vandals lowering values to a fraction of their original worth.   

There are significantly fewer stocks, and a fraction of the shares available to purchase on the exchanges from 20-30 years ago. 

I know there are a couple of Bay Area start-ups (like Point) that are trying to empower homeowners to sell fractional portions of their homes.  

It seems like you and your husband is doing well on the trade, why would you risk a higher paying job and exchange it with a lower pay with only a fraction of a chance to get bonuses?

People who don't own cars but pay for a fractional ride service each month to take them to work every day. 

It will take 4-6 months to process all of these houses and start auctioning them off or selling them on the open market at fractions of there original value.

People add pools all the time even though in most markets they add a value that is a fraction of the cost of the pool.
