When it comes to buying real estate in other parts of the world, most people want something luxury in nature. Most people that are looking for a second home or have one, typically have the resources to purchase and care for the home.But just because they can afford a second home does not mean they want the responsibility that comes along with it. So if you wanted to own a home or at least part of it, you would look into timeshares but now there are new types of properties that bring new options. These new homes you can get access to will blow you away with their locations, their luxury their interiors, furniture's, luxury bedding, bathrooms, and every little thing you can imagine.Fractional property ownership is the first new type of luxury home ownership. This is like a timeshare but you don't have a big company controlling the property, it's just six or so families that do which gives you a lot more freedom. Most of the time it's a corporation that will own the home and then the families involved will own all the shares to the corporation which equal the share of the home they actually own.These homes are shared equally between everyone in the agreement but you can also move things around and negotiate more if possible. Some negatives though, you have to share decorating ideas and furniture and more. This does allow you to get incredibly nice furniture, but you have to make sure all families are in agreement with the styles. You can then bring your own linens like silk sheets, bath stuff and more.If fractional ownership is not for you, then many travel clubs are. These are much different because rather than share one house, you join a club that has thousands of members and the company owns multiple homes throughout the world. You pay a monthly fee and this lets you get access to these homes during certain times of the year. The biggest issue with these clubs is the fact that there are thousands of families so there is always going to be a waiting list to get certain homes.This is the main reason why these travel clubs are not as appealing because of the waiting lists which can be years long to get access to a home during the best time of year. Plus the club company furnishes and maintains the home which can be nice, but you don't get to help with decorating.Between these two options, the fractional ownership has a couple more benefits going for it. To begin, you are in this agreement with a lot of families you don't know and that actually plays out in your favor. This ensures that negotiating is strictly business and no extra baggage is around it make things more difficult. And since you are working with a select number of families, you can much easier work together and improve the home making it more valuable for all involved.Don't be surprised when many of the bills that go along with the home get shared like insurance and other things too. And it's here that you might be on the hook in a fractional ownership setup. Since most of the time, all of the families own the home through a cooperation, if another family damages the home, you might be on hook for part of those damages.While they do have their pros and cons, both of the clubs and fractional ownership arrangements are growing really popular for the most luxury homes across the world. Just make sure you do your homework and have a good attorney just in case.
