Caribbean Fractionals Continue To Defy World Economic Crisis
Jim Walberg, Caribbean Realty | Sat, Jul 18th, 2009
One of the truths about real estate is that all real estate is local. The world news continues to report each day the demise of real estate because of the world's credit meltdown, however there are always real estate locations that are still thriving. The Caribbean fractionals are one of those locations.
I am constantly looking for the best opportunities in the Caribbean for people to secure their slice of Paradise. For the last several years the real estate product that has represented half or more of the sales has been fractionals. If you recall, almost ten years ago the Ritz Carlton in Red Hook, St. Thomas, was one of the first to test the market of fractional deeded ownership as a method to own real estate with several other partners. It was a huge success. Below are six more Caribbean islands to consider for your slice of Paradise by purchasing a fraction of the property instead of the owning it all yourself.

Neil Robertson | Sun, Jul 6th, 2008
As I survey the range of fractional ownership schemes I am struck by how far away from the true concept some companies are. Some do indeed seem to include the worst aspects of timeshare and outright ownership! To explore this further it is first necessary to explain the reasons why timeshare is (sometimes) not a good solution:

Seeing the future
Jeffrey J. Williams | Tue, Jul 1st, 2008
Fractional real estate offerings and purchases will emerge as the single most important innovation in property ownership in the last 25 years. Popular in high-end resort-oriented communities for years, this “new” form of ownership will open a door to luxury ownership that simply has not been available before now.

Understanding The Basics Of Fractional Ownership
Help Your Money, Amanda Keefer | Fri, Sep 29th, 2006
We all dream of having a home away from home, that beachfront property or ski getaway we so deserve. The concept has understandably become part of the American dream. Unfortunately, statistics show that those of us who have a vacation home rarely have the time to use it and the rest of us can't figure out how we can afford one.
A new option known as fractional ownership has been evolving over the past few years and seems to solve both problems. Fractional ownership allows purchasers to own a share of a condo or home in the location of their choice for a fraction of the cost.
