Imagine this…
You and a few friends decide to buy a home together. Maybe it’s a cozy bungalow, a modern condo, or a house with a view you can’t stop thinking about. You each own a real share of the home under your LLC, with your equity growing right alongside the property’s value. You can use it when you want, manage it how you want, and even sell your share if life changes.
That’s co-ownership. Real ownership. Shared intentionally.
Now picture a timeshare. You get a week or two, limited by someone else’s calendar, in a repurposed apartment. You’re not sure exactly what you own. It feels like rented time. And when you want out, you discover it’s easier to sell a flip phone in 2025.
Let’s draw a clear line between the two.
In co-ownership, you own your portion of the home. You’re building wealth, not just buying time. Every payment contributes to an asset that can appreciate over time — a home that’s legally yours.
That means you can actually shape the space. Vote on the new paint color. Hang art that reflects your style. Install solar panels that save energy and increase value. You’re not a guest — you’re an owner with a say in every detail.
In a timeshare, you can’t do any of that. You’re leasing access, not building equity. When the week’s over, you leave with memories — not ownership. And if you hate the couch, too bad.
With co-ownership, you can buy any home for sale — anywhere. You’re not limited to a company’s network of properties or pre-selected destinations.
Want something close to family? A place that doubles as a rental? A quiet retreat that fits your budget because you’re sharing the cost? Co-ownership gives you that choice.
Timeshares, on the other hand, offer what they own. You pick from a catalog, not the open market.
In co-ownership, you decide who’s part of the journey. Friends, family, trusted partners — the people you’d actually want to share a space with. You create your own small ownership circle built on trust.
You can align on values and expectations from day one. How you’ll split time, share costs, handle repairs — it’s all structured clearly, with people you already know.
A timeshare is the opposite. You’re one of hundreds rotating through the same space, with no say in who comes next. What’s the stain on the pillow — you may never know.
In co-ownership, everything runs more smoothly because the structure is built for real life — not for restrictions. You and your group can coordinate time through a shared calendar, track and split expenses transparently, vote on decisions, and agree on house rules that fit how you actually live.
It’s a system that encourages communication and clarity. Everyone knows what’s happening and has a voice in how the property is cared for.

A timeshare doesn’t work that way. The schedule, fees, and policies are fixed long before you arrive — you simply follow the rules someone else created.
Co-ownership is much easier to exit. If your situation changes, you can sell your share, transfer it, or have the group decide to sell the property together. It’s built into the structure — clear, fair, and predictable.
That means you can move forward confidently, knowing you’re never trapped.
💡This is built into your Joynt operating agreement.
Timeshares are notoriously difficult to leave. The resale market is weak, and owners often find themselves paying maintenance fees long after they’ve stopped visiting. There are literally companies that exclusively help people escape their Timeshare and they are notoriously problematic as well.
Co-ownership, done right, allows you to own safely. You can do things your way with legal framework and agreements to shared expenses and calendars. You stay in control of decisions, money, and time — the things that matter most.
💡We provide the legal framework and everything else.
Timeshare companies, meanwhile, rely on keeping you locked into long-term contracts. Their success depends on you not leaving.
Timeshares are about renting time.
Co-ownership is about building something real — together.
