Fractional co-ownership is moving from a niche idea to a pragmatic strategy for buyers who want South Florida access without carrying 100% of a trophy home’s costs.

For buyers balancing lifestyle with optional income, the practical work starts with minimum terms, annual caps, and carrying costs per square foot.
