Minimum share size refers to the smallest ownership interest a co-ownership company offers in a property. Smaller ownership interests generally reduce the initial purchase price but also mean more owners share the property and its available usage time.
Ownership structures vary across fractional ownership companies. For example, Pacaso offers ownership interests starting at 1/8, while other providers may offer smaller shares. GoForth's standard ownership structure is a 1/4 interest, typically shared among four families, with each owner receiving 12 weeks, or 84 nights, of annual use.
There are select exceptions. Villa Nicklaus in Marbella, for example, is offered in 1/8 ownership interests. To compare different providers, ownership structures, and available share sizes, explore our guide to fractional ownership companies and our comparison of GoForth and Pacaso.
