KEY FEATURES
Cut Your Travel Costs! Over the past twenty years or so, many people purchased timeshares because they were relatively inexpensive vacation products. A typical timeshare would cost around $20,000 and would provide one or two weeks per year in a hotel at a big resort for about ten years. What timeshare buyers did not consider was the massive increase in travel costs we now experience. Today, a typical family of four could easily spend the value of a timeshare just traveling to and from the timeshare! Now, thrifty vacationers are seeking out opportunities that are more local in nature. Instead of spending thousands on plane fare and gasoline, take the train or drive a few miles and travel to your local vacation destination. It's probably quieter, more friendly and less chaotic there anyway. With fractional ownership, we can help you cut your travel costs, leaving more of your investment for a second home in your local vacation destination.
Save the Planet! The clearing of forests emits more greenhouse gas emissions than all the cars, trucks and SUVs on the planet. In other words, fractional ownership is to vacation homes as carpooling is to your commute. A typical four bedroom vacation home with four occupants has a carbon footprint of 5.7 tons of CO2. This footprint would be increased dramatically if the home happens to be carved out of a forested area. By responsibly owning a fraction of an existing vacation home, you not only eliminate the 5.7 tons of CO2 that your family would have created by owning a second property, you permit five, seven or even nine other families to eliminate their carbon emissions as well. The minor sacrifices in freedom and scheduling flexibility are well worth it considering the benefit to the environment by sharing otherwise wasted space.
Get a Deed! Unlike timeshare, which does not offer ownership of real estate, fractional owners hold a grant deed to their portion of the property. In addition to creating an affordable getaway for your family in an outstanding location, fractional provides all of the other benefits generally associated with vacation home real estate including: participation in appreciation, tax benefits, the ability to sell your share, the ability to borrow against your share, place your share into trust, rent your share out for cash flow, or allow your guests to stay at the property even when you can't.
Cost / Use Alignment! In today's economy, we have to watch the bottom line. Gone are the days of buying the million-dollar cabin outright just for the fun of it. Owning a fractional vacation home drastically reduces the cost associated with vacation homes because fractional owners align expenses with actual usage. Your acquisition cost, operating cost, property taxes, everything, will be dramatically lower than a whole ownership acquisition. Why pay for more than you can use?
Concierge Services. If you've owned a vacation home before, you know how easy it is to spend a majority of your vacation time fixing and cleaning the property. When you own a fractional vacation home, you never have to shovel snow, rake leaves, paint or fix a toilet. Maintenance is taken care of by property management. Our team also sets up comprehensive bookkeeping and accounting services for the co-owners. Depending on the type of property, additional amenities may be added such as: advance orders for stocking the fridge, lift tickets, guide services, chef services and in-home spa treatments.
