Fractional ownership is an innovative property ownership formula that offers an easy and affordable way to own a vacation property. With fractional ownership, you get the most out of your investment by purchasing only the shares you require and reducing the cost of purchase and ownership. Put simply, you are buying your vacation home in partnership with other owners who share the cost with you.

Fractional ownership is different from “time-sharing.” With time-sharing you are only buying time at a property, and with fractional ownership you actually own part of a property.

Benefits and Features of a Fractional Ownership Structure:

Fractional ownership is affordable: ownership of a property is divided into segments, giving each owner certain privileges, such as a number of weeks for personal use of the property.

Fractional ownership is flexible: each investor has an undivided interest in a fee simple title, providing tax benefits and rights of property ownership. Each share can be sold or traded at any time (according to the operating agreement currently in place).

Fractional ownership is easily managed: an ownership or operating agreement defines the ownership structure, the rules and the bylaws of the property, and other terms such as property rental, property use, and designated management.
Fractional ownership reduces the burden of costs and fees: the monthly property management and maintenance costs are shared equally by the owners and most often tracked and processed by a bookkeeper who provides reports to each of the owners.

Fractional ownership offers worry-free property management: the property management company provides maintenance and cleaning services to ensure the property is always clean, in working order, and ready for the next renter. The property management company can also be designated to handle and schedule the property rentals.
