fractional ownership The concept is very simple. We bring unrelated parties together to co-own a second home, similar to what friends and relatives have done on their own, for decades. Fractional ownership is the shared ownership of a villa with “partner� owners in the same unit. Villas in this program are divided into fractions of 1/8 (6 weeks) or 1/4 (13 weeks) per year, for life. You get the same beautiful villa, the same amenities, the same privileges and the same great lifestyle as if you owned a villa outright, but for a fraction of the price. Fractional ownership is the perfect real estate investment for vacationers, snow birds, travelers and other seasonal residents. The flexibility of the system allows you to purchase as much time in the home of your dreams as you like. You can upgrade to a To keep the property running smoothly, fractional villas will be professionally managed and maintained by the Villa La Estancia longer fraction or a full ownership whenever you like. management company, the cost of which is included in your maintenance fees.
More on fractions
It is not a Timeshare. The buyer owns titled real estate on a particular villa (as opposed to units of time or points). Unlike timeshare interests, fractional ownership offers you investment, tax and legal benefits, in your own single-family estate property.
Fractional ownership is for the buyer that is most often not interested in a timeshare, allowing you to acquire a fee-simple, deeded equity interest in a property.
As a fractional owner you receive an undivided fractional interest in a property, as a tenant-in-common with the other owners. Not As the property appreciates in value, so does each individually just a right to use a property, but real equitable ownership, that deeded fraction. Owners can sell their individual fraction whenever appreciates over time. they choose. Fractional ownership provides you the opportunity to own one Not just a floor plan in a large condo or hotel-like complex where or more properties, leveraging your equity capital into a bigger, you float from similar unit to unit on each visit, with sterile, often better quality property that you will probably use as much as you would with whole ownership. nailed down, impersonal furnishings. 6
Fee simple Real Estate
Great investment
You enjoy all rights and privileges of owning real estate. That is, you can sell your property at any time at any price, will your share to your heirs, rent it, allow friends to use it, invite guests to share it and last, but we hope not least, escape to it with your love ones.
As with whole ownership, if the property appreciates in value, the so do the shares. Fractional owners can sell whenever they deem necessary or prudent, releasing the capital growth from their “bricks & mortar” investment.
2ND HOME OWNERSHIP COMPARISON
How the schedule works Owners are given the usage schedule for the villa at the time of purchase. Usage assignments automatically rotate every year so you know in advance how to plan your return visits. The owner is free to keep their assigned spot or exchange dates with other owners at their convenience. Owners may also choose to exchange with other resorts in our Trade Program.
Cost Effective Fractional ownership offers a sensible, problem-free way to balance your vacation time usage to your investment in a second home.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS 1 - Weeks deposited by our owners into 3rdHome are done 90 days prior to arrival of those weeks. They receive keys (credits) for these deposits in about 24 to 48 hours. 2 - Once they have keys, they have 2 years to use these credits within the 3rd home system. 3 - Owners can view the availability of weeks offered in homes within the 3rd Home website at their convenience, then tell us what home and what week they wish to reserve.

Frequently Asked Questions What is a Fractional Ownership? Fractional ownership is the shared ownership of a villa with “partner” owners in the same unit. Villas in this program are divided into fractions of 1/8 (6 weeks) or 1/4 (13 weeks) per year, for life. Where did the concept of fractional ownership originate? The concept isn’t new, but the term “fractional ownership” is. Friends, relatives, and business partners have been pooling their resources to buy a second home for centuries. In the early 1990’s, fractional ownership of private jets became popular, followed by yachts, then luxury vacation homes. Is Fractional Ownership the same as Timeshare? No, it is not a Timeshare. The buyer owns titled real state on a particular villa (as opposed to units of time or points). As the property appreciates in value, so does each individually deeded fraction. Owners can sell their individual fraction whenever they choose. How do I know my schedule for use? You will be able to plan ahead, years in advance, knowing exactly when you have the highest priority making it optimum for you to make your reservation or, you may use it on a moment’s notice, subject to availability. As a fractional interest owner, will I have exclusive use of the property? Yes, the property will be exclusively yours to use for the time alloted by your contract purchase. The housekeepers completely clean the property and prepare it for each owners’ arrival. You may arrive any time after the scheduled arrival time. Many owners will skip the weekdays and arrive for extended weekends only. 26
Who are fractional properties really for? This type of vacation real estate ownership is ideal if you want the benefits of owning an impressive second home (typically of more value than you would afford on your own), complete with management services, located in a very exclusive community, but you can’t justify whole ownership because of your projected limited use. Most fractional owners are frequent visitors to the resort area, and want something they can call “their own”, with friends and family members. These buyers aren’t looking to be sold vacation time, but instead want an upscale vacation property without the responsibilities and costs associated with a wholly owned home. How do Fractional Villas differ from residence clubs or condo hotels? Both offer luxurious accommodations and services for the person seeking a vacation home. However, the residence club/condo hotel tends to be an individual room or suite located within a major multi-unit complex. In most cases, the ownership is of a “like kind unit”, meaning you will rarely stay in the same unit twice. Effectively, you have bought a “floating floor plan” in the complex, even though you may have title to a specific property, or unit. With a Fractional Villa you will own and enjoy the same property, on every visit, not just a floor plan where you float from similar unit to unit. Additionally, a private estate Fractional Villa assures you the highest degree of privacy. Can I have guests stay at the property? Family, friends, business associates, or anyone else you designate, can be accommodated as your guests. Guests are treated as family and may join you, or use the property should your schedule not allow you to attend at the same time. Guests shall be your responsibility and required to respect the CC&R’s, Bylaws and Rules & Regulations. 27
Can I rent out my unused time? Yes! our villas do allow for the rental of your priority time. With rental potential, some villas may qualify for 1031 exchanges, and additional tax benefits, that your professional tax advisor will need to determine for you. Do I have the same tax considerations with fractional ownership as with purchasing the entire property exclusively? Fractional ownership is the same as ownership of any other real estate, wherein you enjoy potential appreciation, depreciation, interest and expense deductions. At your discretion, you may sell your share of the property, gift it, or leave it to someone in a Will. Your tax advisor will be better suited to provide specific details, and advise what your individual tax circumstances may offer. Can I finance my purchase? We are offering financing for a limited time. We can finance your property for up to 10 years, with a typical deposit of 25% of the share price. Most owners will, however, either pay all cash, or opt to pay for their share with equity from their primary residence, using a line of credit.
28
Who maintains the property? The property manager oversees the complete maintenance and care of your villa, including the ongoing housekeeping. Your expense fees cover the cost of all maintenance, repair, replacements and wear and tear as required. A professional housekeeper is supervised by the manager, assuring the property is always clean and maintained in a first class condition, as you would expect. Owners and their guests are responsible for any specific substantial damage repair, if incurred during their use of the property. Landscape and pool maintenance is performed on a regularly scheduled basis by local professionals. Structural maintenance, including painting, and repairs, is provided by the appropriate local trade contractors, as and when needed. How can I sell my share in the future? Yes, you may resale your shares just like any general real estate sale. Typically, resale shares are listed with a local real estate broker, who will promote the sale of your share the same way they promote any other property for sale. You may also sell your share yourself, by advertising in any publication, newspaper, or on the Internet at free real estate listing sites. You set the price and are in control of the sale, just like any other property sale.
