It’s occurred to me before that going in on an investment/vacation home with buddies might be a good idea; but what about this notion of fractional ownership? I stumbled on this site earlier today – a family offering for sale their fraction of a townhouse in southern France – and was interested by the notion. You simply own a portion of the house, which entitles you to a portion of the responsibility/income/usage.

Man, I could sure go for a property in France that I could retreat to for a few weeks a year. Actually, one in Spain might be even better.

Anyone have any extra cash? Turns out there are a ton of places like this.

I wonder if you get fractional ownership of the maid…
