Co-ownership
Own a Piece of Paradise.
Share the Cost.
Enjoy the Freedom.
What is Co-ownership?
Co-ownership is a smart way to own a vacation home—without taking on the full financial weight of buying it solo. It’s a simple idea: a group of people share the costs and the benefits of owning a property in the Dominican Republic. You each get your own set weeks to enjoy the property, and everything else—like upkeep and management—is taken care of.
This kind of shared ownership makes it possible to invest in a tropical getaway, even if you’re not ready to commit to full ownership. It’s also a great way to diversify your investment portfolio while still enjoying a relaxing lifestyle asset.
This is NOT Timeshare!
Co-ownership is not a timeshare. You’re not buying “time”—you’re buying a share in real, titled properties. That means your name is on the title, and you own a percentage of the home. Your usage weeks are clearly defined based on the number of shares you hold.
Why Co-ownership Works
For many buyers, co-ownership just makes sense. You get access to a high-quality property in a prime Caribbean location—without the stress, the full price tag, or the responsibilities that come with traditional second home ownership.
Whether you’re looking for a lifestyle upgrade, an investment opportunity, or a bit of both, co-ownership opens the door.
How Does it Work?
It Starts With the Right Framework
To facilitate co-ownership, Casa Linda has established a separate company to manage and operate the program. This company acquires specific residences—currently townhomes—which are then offered for shared ownership.
When You Purchase Co-ownership, You Become a Legal Owner
Ownership of the five townhomes are divided into shares, which are sold to individuals, families, or groups. To become a co-owner, you purchase shares in this company and become a legal, titled owner of all five properties. You are then entitled to a set number of weeks per year for personal use. The number of weeks is determined by the number of shares purchased, with a minimum of four weeks per year. You can certainly buy additional shares and increase your yearly usage.
No Hassle Ownership
All property maintenance and upkeep is handled by a professional management company. This ensures the home remains in excellent condition year-round, regardless of which owner is using it.
Earn Passive Income & Property Appreciation
When not in use, owners have the option to place their allocated weeks into a rental program, creating the opportunity for passive income. This model offers the combined benefits of personal enjoyment and investment potential—without the typical responsibilities of full-time ownership.
The Benefits of Co-ownership
Year-Round Sunshine & Great Weather
The Dominican Republic enjoys a warm tropical climate year-round, with plenty of sunshine and moderate temperatures. This makes it an attractive destination for travelers seeking a warm getaway, regardless of the season.
Beyond the Beaches
While the country’s beaches are a major draw, there’s more to explore in the Dominican Republic. Visitors can enjoy snorkeling, diving, and other water sports, as well as cultural experiences, mountain landscapes, and eco-tourism activities. The diversity of experiences ensures that each visit can be unique and memorable
Cost Effective Ownership & Inexpensive Vacations
By sharing costs with a select group of owners, you can enjoy luxurious accommodations at a fraction of the typical price. This innovative approach makes high-end property ownership more accessible and affordable.
A Simple Breakdown of Costs:
- Monthly fee: US$99 + taxes (Waived for the first year of ownership)
- Only pay for services (housekeeping, pool/garden service) and electricity when you visit
This smart investment opportunity allows you to indulge in luxury without the hefty price tag.
Investment Appreciation
The real estate market on the Dominican Republic’s North Coast has had steady growth in the past thirty years, and is poised for significantly more. Co-ownership offers a unique opportunity to invest in a vacation property with long-term appreciation, providing a possible source of future financial returns.
Generate Additional Income
As an owner, you have the flexibility to rent out your unused weeks, unlocking a potential source of additional income. This can help offset the costs of ownership, or even fund future vacations, enhancing the overall value of your investment.
