Think Owning A Colorado Vacation Home Is Out Of Reach? Think Again

1:48 pm in Fractional News by Fractional Property Guide

Have you ever dreamed of owning a Colorado vacation home near ski slopes, on the fairways, and within steps of miles of award winning fly fishing rivers, but never imagined you could afford it? An affordable way of owning a vacation home is coming to Colorado! Riverside at Rio Grande Club is pleased to introduce a rapidly growing alternative to whole ownership in real estate: fractional ownership.

Fractional real estate, or shared ownership, is quite different from a typical timeshare, and far more affordable than whole ownership. Fractional real estate offers a specific interest (or a fraction) of a physical residence, not just the use of a property, as is offered with a timeshare. This interest is a deeded ownership of the property, giving the owners much more control over their property. As a deeded property, this interest can be mortgaged, sold, traded, rented, or even willed to others. While timeshares typically lose 50% of their value in reselling, fractional deeded ownership historically has the same appreciation rate as whole ownership.

Fractional Home Ownership is a great way for families to afford a vacation property without the expense and ongoing costs of purchasing a second home, especially one that would only be used a few weeks out of every year. Since the ownership of the residence is spread over several owners, maintenance costs, HOA dues and taxes are all shared as well, drastically lowering the cost of overall purchase price.

The benefits to each owner don’t stop here, however! With such properties being offered at locations like Riverside at Rio Grande Club, owners can enjoy all the benefits of their chosen location such as:

To summarize, a fractional purchaser has a lower purchase price, lower operating costs, and a lower need for rental tenants. All of this adds up to an owner that can afford to enjoy a luxury fractional project such as the Riverside at Rio Grande Club. Unlike whole ownership, fractional ownership allows the Owner to spend more time enjoying their vacation home, and less time managing and maintaining their property.

Please feel free to contact Riverside at Rio Grande Club if you have any questions regarding fractional ownership and the many benefits provided by such ownership. We have a phenomenal “Stay and Play” weekend available to those who are interested in purchasing a Fractional Home. You will find this option has tremendous benefits over single ownership and timeshares.

Netjets Middle East Programme Signals New Dawn Of Executive Jet Travel

1:43 pm in Fractional News by Fractional Property Guide

The NetJets Middle East Programme, provided by National Air Services (NAS), is celebrating its 10th anniversary as the region’s leading provider of executive jet ownership programmes by taking delivery of a new Falcon 2000LX – the first Falcon 2000LX to be operated commercially in the Middle East.

The NetJets Middle East Programme, a favourite of some of the region’s most successful individuals, private companies and multinationals, already has a fleet comprising the Gulfstream 450 and Hawker 750 but sees the arrival of the new long-range Falcon 2000LX as a major step forward.

Graeme Deary, Executive Director – Business Development, explains:
“With its range of up to 4,000 nautical miles, the Falcon 2000LX can fly non-stop from Dubai to Paris and London. The Falcon 2000LX is the optimum aircraft to fly this route with a spacious cabin and good performance enabling it to get into some of the smaller airports in Europe. This, coupled with its large baggage compartment, allows our guests to travel with all their home comforts.”

The aircraft has been chosen for the fleet not just for its ideal range, but also because of its reliability.

Deary added: “All of our aircraft receive the very highest attention in terms of service and maintenance, an area in which we continue to invest heavily. The safety and security of our passengers is a priority. With the new aircraft, we have the additional assurance of knowing that it is designed as much for high cycle use as high performance, precisely the kind of performance and reliability that premium operators such as The NetJets Middle East Programme demands.”

The NetJets Middle East Programme brought fractional aircraft ownership programmes to the Middle East to offer all of the advantages of private jet travel but at a fraction of the cost. Owners buy or lease a fractional interest in an executive aircraft based on the number of hours they are likely to fly in a year.

Deary said: “The NetJets Middle East Programme then provides them with an aircraft to suit their flight profile taking into consideration passenger comfort, range requirements and frequency of flights and will take care of the operational aspects of aircraft ownership. Fractional Ownership was invented by NetJets in the US, and through our affiliation with them our owners have access to the world’s largest fleet of executive aircraft.”

Importantly, while clients take a fractional ownership share in a specific aircraft, the freedom is there to interchange between aircraft types in accordance with their specific usage requirements, per booking. Ownership costs are guaranteed for five years.

“‘Most of our clients can afford their own aircraft,” Deary concludes. “They just appreciate that the intelligent, cost-effective alternative is not to.”
