Welcome
TheFractionalsMarket.com is your information source for the world of Fractional real estate and Condo Hotels. Have you ever dreamed of owning a luxury vacation home in Paradise or simply interested in learning more about owning a vacation property? Fractional ownership properties are typically luxury, high end villas and estates. With fractional home ownership, vacation homes around the world can become a reality. With Fractional properties the purchaser only owns the portion of the year in which they use it. They are not concerned, financially or otherwise about the remainder of the year.
How is that different from a Condo Hotel? Both are lifestyle investments where a purchaser only wants to use the property for fraction of the year. With Condo Hotels the property is owned outright by the purchaser. It is placed in the rental pool and is rented as a hotel room for the period of the year it is not in use by the purchaser.
There are pluses and minuses to both concepts-hence this website. Welcome to TheFractionalMarket.com, your source for Factional real estate and Condo Hotel ownership!
