Question

A ______ is a piece of real estate owned by multiple, unrelated individuals who, in addition to their ownership rights, each hold the right to occupy the dwelling unit based on the specific terms of a time-sharing agreement, usually in one- to two-week intervals during the year.

Answer 1

Time-Share Estate

Step-by-step explanation:

Definition:

A time-share estate is an illustration of a concept also known as fractional ownership. It is a structure that allows individuals to purchase the right of occupancy of a unit of real estate for a specific period.

Of course, a good example of why buyers will choose this type of real estate purchase is to get the use of a unit of housing that is not always in use all year round. For instance, time-sharing is popular with resorts, vacation homes and even with recreational vehicles.

It is important to know also that the time-sharing industry is mostly available within the United States and it is a multi-billion dollar industry, meaning the time-sharing concept is popular in the United States.

Different Types

Fixed Weeks or Floating Weeks Option - as the names suggest, owners are either allowed to pre-determine the specific period of the year and the number of weeks to make use of the estate or choose the floating weeks which leaves the occupant the choice to choose weeks within a given period say January-March, September-November etc.
