Fractional ownership of property is whereby a group of like minded investors pool resources to own real estate togehter and agree on how to share the real estate . Sharing can be in terms of share of rental income or share of time period spent on the property.
Most fractional ownerships worldwide share the time spent on the property on a pre agreed contract whereby one can opt to collect rent in lieu of their time at the property.
For example, assuming a hotel with several rooms, each room is shared by 12 people, with each person having rights to use the room for 1 month per year. The 1 month per year right to use the room will be the fractional ownership. The owner can either choose to spend the 1 month in the room or collect the monthly revenue for the particular month when the room is rented out as a hotel suite.
