In addition to their respective share of the net "Annual Owner Expenses" each owner will be responsible for any direct expenses associated with the usage of the property during their allotted time such as food, supplies and fuel for the SUV.

Property Use

Each owner has the exclusive right to the property during their allotted time and may use it in any number of ways:

• Personal Use:  Some owners will decide to use the property exclusively as their personal vacation home.
• Friends or Family: Each owner has the exclusive right to the property during their allotted time and has the right to allow usage of the property by friends, family and business associates. Any property related expenses that are incurred by "Guests" of the owners will be treated as if they were incurred by the owner themselves and will be charged to the owners account.
  • Personal Rental Income: The owner has the right to rent the estate during their allotted time. In this situation, the owner is responsible for managing and coordinating all aspects of the rental. They are responsible for all associated expenses and any damages to the property and keep the rental income. Advertising by owners, however, is strictly prohibited.

Property Management

Owners will be responsible for their portion of the property expenses throughout the year but will not be responsible for dealing with the logistics of the upkeep and maintenance of their home. All of the day-to-day details involved with maintaining the home are done by the full-time onsite caretaker, with rentals and major decisions being made by Manager and Owners. The following is a partial list of the details that Manager will look after:

• Rentals and bookings
• Maintenance of home's vehicles
• Payment of all utilities, insurance, taxes etc
• Property maintenance and improvements
• Coordination of transportation to/from the property for owners and guests

The owners are 100% responsible for decisions and management of the property. This is a key difference between a true Fractional Ownership and a Time Share. The owners always have the ultimate say in how the property is managed.
Several of the current owners, on a shared efforts basis, handle all vacation rental bookings and coordination, accounting, communication with owners and owner usage etc.
