Pay cash. Remove risk. This is the essence of our co-ownership model.
The members of the LLC co-own the real estate outright. Lifestyle Asset Group has no ownership interest in any of the homes. We manage all the moving parts and operate each LLC on behalf of the co-owners, so you can enjoy every minute of your vacation. This is how, even if another real estate downturn were to occur, your capital is fully backed by the hard assets in the LLC, co-owned by you and the other members of the LLC.
Early in the development of our model and its offerings and services, we led a wide array of surveys, tests and focus groups to learn exactly what your peers were looking for in a vacation home type of experience. The results were overwhelmingly consistent and became the seven fundamental principles of our company:
We understand the logistics of destination travel, and it shows. Our travel planners and local hosts know what it takes to make your vacation hassle-free and your experiences as perfect as they can be. Our occupancy modeling and reservation policies are tested, proven, simple, and lead the industry in availability.
When it comes to managing your properties, one word sums it up — transparency. As a co-owner, you’ll receive quarterly profit and loss statements for your LLC and annual real estate analysis so you know where your annual fees are going and how your assets are performing.
At Lifestyle Asset Group our mission is simple. To make sure your co-ownership provides you with a lifetime of memories and provide you with a personalized ownership experience specific to your expectations and needs.
