Fractional ownership of self selected properties yeah?
What I'm saying is, the properties that will be desirable for fractional ownership, if you're smart, will be the ones which the operator has a slew of added services...so that HIS profit motive is derived from added services; not YOUr property.
The business model hinges on finding quality Vacation Rental Operators that aren't relying on your equity investment for their day to day living otherwise his cut comes out of your investment instead of his services.
So, In order for WSGF to attract customers to their market, operator, retail consumer, and investor alike, hinges upon operators offering value added services, otherwise the self owned and operated vacation rental market already addresses a lowest margin option for everyone but the "investor, for the investor, even as a fractional owner of property, assumes all the risk, while the operator is free to find another job if the business fails and real estate equity pulls back.
