What Is Timeshare And How Did It Begin?
Timeshare is just another word for undivided interest. It basically refers to the sharing of a title, whether it involves real estate, land or boats. Implement this program by establishing memberships or having the project developer hold the title. The corporation, if one is formed, may hold the title, with the partners having limited liability. You may also establish timesharing as a strictly undivided interest, with all parties holding a deed for their individual interest.

What’s so good about sharing ownership of a boat?
A nice benefit of timeshare is that once you have purchased your time interval, the price is fixed. If you and your fellow owners maintain the boat well, the cost of your intervals will not increase. Here’s another cost-savings to consider. Chartering or renting a boat for just one or two weeks a year is an expensive proposition. Owning your own time on a boat will bring the cost down to a small annual fee for maintenance and management.

Shared ownership is launched
The concept of shared ownership began in 1969 when I joined two associates to initiate one of the country’s first timeshare operations. The project involved condominium units on Lake Tahoe in Nevada. We called it “Undivided Interest.” To help us finance buyers and prospective owners caught in the financial downswing of the 1970s, we held a “rain or shine” auction, offering a one-twelfth interest in those units. When the big day arrived, 500 potential buyers stood in the parking lot where the auction was held, clutching umbrellas. Even in the pouring rain we sold every single unit. Real estate developers came from around the country to see the sale. Impressed with our success, they returned home to establish the timeshare concept in their localities. I was involved in three timeshare projects—Lake Tahoe, San Francisco and Monterrey County. I followed that success with other projects.
