How It Works
Co-ownership isn't a loophole or a membership. It's the ordinary mechanics of real estate, applied sensibly: one exceptional home, a small group of vetted owners, a professional manager, and a deed with your name on it.
Deeded ownership
Recorded on title. Sellable, giftable, inheritable.
LLC-structured
One home, one LLC, one clear agreement.
Fully furnished
Professionally designed before the first owner arrives.
Vetted co-owners
Everyone passes the same checks you do.
Most buyers go from first call to keys in six to ten weeks.
A short private call. Where you already go, who comes with you, how many weeks a year you'd realistically use, and what you're comfortable spending. This is the part most buyers skip — and it's the reason so many second homes sit empty.
We come back with a handful of homes that fit the brief, each with the real numbers attached: share price, monthly cost, nights per year and the ownership structure. If nothing fits, we say so rather than filling the list.
Walk the property, see the neighbourhood, meet the local management team. You'll know within an hour whether it's the place you want to come back to for the next decade.
Each home is owned by its own LLC. You purchase a share of that LLC — real, deeded, recorded ownership of one specific property. Financing is available, and every co-owner is vetted before closing.
Roughly 44 nights a year per share, booked on an equitable rotation. Peak weeks rotate between owners, so nobody permanently owns Christmas. Plan a year ahead or a long weekend on Thursday.
Cleaning, landscaping, utilities, repairs, bills and reserves are handled by professional management and split proportionally. Ownership without the ownership chores.
After the initial holding period, list your share on the open market at your price. Any appreciation belongs to you in proportion to your share — because you own real estate, not a membership.
Step one takes twenty minutes.
No pressure and no obligation — just a straight conversation about whether this fits your life and your numbers.

One share of a $3.2M eight-share home — roughly a $400,000 share price and 44 nights a year. Here's how the monthly running cost breaks down, next to what the same home costs someone who owns it outright.
| Monthly line item | Your 1/8 share | Whole ownership |
|---|---|---|
| Property taxes | $610 | $4,880 |
| Insurance | $135 | $1,080 |
| Utilities (power, water, internet) | $115 | $920 |
| Housekeeping & turnover cleaning | $190 | $1,520 |
| Landscaping, pool & routine maintenance | $160 | $1,280 |
| Reserve fund (roof, appliances, big-ticket items) | $120 | $960 |
| Professional management | $170 | $1,360 |

Financing guide
A share is real estate, so it can be financed like real estate. Most buyers use one of the three routes below — or a blend of them. We'll model the monthly number with you before you commit to anything.
Share-specific lending
Best for keeping cash invested
A growing group of lenders underwrite co-ownership shares directly, using the home's LLC structure and the share itself as security. Terms sit broadly in line with a conventional second-home mortgage.
HELOC on your primary home
Best for speed and flexibility
Many buyers draw on equity in their main residence. It is often the fastest route, keeps the purchase simple, and lets you act like a cash buyer when a good share appears.
Cash purchase
Best for lowest monthly cost
A meaningful share of buyers pay cash, particularly at the $400K–$700K share level. Your only ongoing cost is then the monthly operating contribution.
What lenders look at

General information only, not lending, tax or legal advice. Rates, terms and eligibility vary by lender and by country.
Every option below is a reasonable choice for someone. Here's the honest trade-off in each.
Whole second home
Upside: Total control of the calendar.
Trade-off: Full price, full costs, and it sits empty ~10 months a year.
Short-term rentals
Upside: Flexible, no commitment.
Trade-off: You never build equity, and it's never truly your home.
Timeshare
Upside: Low entry price.
Trade-off: You own time, not property — and resale value is famously poor.
Co-ownership
Upside: Real deeded equity in one luxury home, fully managed, six weeks a year.
Trade-off: You share the calendar — which is exactly why it costs a fraction.
We'll tell you honestly which camp you're in on the first call.
