Buying a fractional share of a luxury home provides an affordable way to own a second home that would otherwise be too expensive. Owning only a fraction of the home means paying a corresponding fraction of the total costs, including taxes, maintenance, and repairs. This allows owners to enjoy all the amenities of an expensive home while only paying for the amount of time they'll actually spend there, typically just a few weeks per year. Fractional ownership also takes away the hassles of full ownership as a management company handles all home operations and upkeep when owners aren't there.

14. Words Of Actual Owners
"We paid $400,000 for a fractional share of a $3 million lakefront home that we can use for six weeks out of the year, which is as long as we would use it anyway. It has a private beach and a boat dock, and you are sitting on the lake, all for $400,000. With all this," he enthuses, "why would you buy a complete home?" said Art Savage majority owner and CEO of the Sacramento River Cats as reported inWorth Magazine.
"It was very affordable, and the whole resort has the lifestyle amenities I'm interested in, I don't see a downside yet at all.'' said Tim Hoagland, of Los Gatos, CA as reported inThe Mercury News.
"I can't justify owning a place all year if I'm not going to spend much time there, " said Dennis Howe of Cornelius, N.C. as reported byVacation Homes Magazine.

16. What costs can each homeowner expect to incur?
Each homeowner would be responsible for the purchase price of their share at $625,000 each. In addition to that there would be monthly assessments to cover the taxes, management and upkeep. An early estimate of this would be approximately $1,000- $1,200.
This estimate is based on:
Yearly taxes= 36,000/12= 3,000 /6= 500 per ownerManagement & Upkeep costs= $3,000-$3500 per month
We could also offer A la carte services and options such as daily housekeeping during a stay, private chef services, driver services, etc. These costs could be billed based on a homeowner’s needs and requests and managed through the property management company.
Included in this estimate: 4 weeks of housekeeping @ 350 per week= 1400 per monthManagement costs per month= $500Pool maintenance= $100-$150 per month Pest Control= $50 per monthLandscape & Exterior Maintenance= $300 per monthGeneral Home Repair (Light bulbs, loose cabinets, leaky sinks, etc) = $150-$200 per monthCable= $300 per monthElectricity= $250 per monthPropane costs= $350 per month
