Have you ever dreamed about owning a vacation home at the beach, desert or mountains? But when you ran the numbers it just didn't pencil out, especially when you consider that most vacation homes are used less than 20% of the time.

Vacation Property Partners is the new, affordable way to own your dream vacation home! You’ll be joining an exclusive Club whose Members are seeking a like-minded, compatible partner with whom to co-own a vacation home.

It’s not a timeshare or a fractional, it’s two owners of one property… any property that you choose!

By sharing vacation home ownership you’re sharing the costs and are almost certainly able to cut the cost of owning your dream vacation home by up to 50% or more

  • Reduce your purchase price and down payment
  • Reduce your mortgage, taxes and insurance
  • Reduce your maintenance and HOA costs
  • Don’t reduce your usage or fun!

Our platform makes it easy to either find a partner first and then search together for the vacation home that fits both your needs, or find the property first and then find the perfect partner.

Why Co-Ownership?

The reality is, people end up using their vacation home only about 10-20% of the year. If you share ownership of your property with another person, not only are you cutting the cost of ownership (mortgage, taxes, HOA fees, utilities, maintenance, etc) in half, but you still get to use your vacation home likely as much as you would if you owned the whole thing!
If you’ve been thinking about buying a vacation home but it’s not in your budget – this is the way you could be able to afford it.
Or if you are already planning on buying a vacation home and have a set budget, you could now be able to afford twice the home by sharing costs with a co-owner.

Co-owning a home is NOT timeshare or a fractional, it’s two owners of one property. A timeshare normally has multiple people each owning 1-2 weeks of time at a condo that they don’t even own, but VPP enables you to co-own your very own vacation home. This means that each partner has 50% equity of the property and 50% of the year to use it. 2 owners, 1 property.

How It Works:

How will you know if the person I am talking with would make a compatible partner?
Surprisingly, a compatible partner may mean someone who is opposite from you. For instance, if you are looking to own a vacation home in Aspen, a successful partnership may be someone who skis and wants to use the house in the winter with someone who doesn’t ski and wants to use the house for hiking in the summer, spring and fall. Similarly, a family with kids who will likely use the house during school holidays may want to match with a retired couple who wants to avoid using the vacation home during the busy holiday season.
We encourage you to take your conversations offline and meet up with your potential partner in person, on video conference, on social media- or wherever you feel most comfortable. The more communication you have with your partner, the easier this process becomes!

We know you might have concerns about getting into a partnership with someone you don’t really know.

  • How do you figure out usage of the house?
  • What happens if one partner doesn’t meet their ongoing commitments about finances or upkeep?
  • What happens if there are unanticipated major expenses?
  • Can the property be rented to third parties?
  • What is the exit strategy for the partnership?

These questions and almost any other that you can think of are addressed in our proprietary dynamically generated “Letter of Understanding” between the partners. We recommend that partners take the LOU take it to their own attorneys for modification to meet legal requirements in their jurisdiction and the needs and wants of the partners.
