HOW PACASO WORKS

Co-ownership, simplified

Own the place that brings everyone together — again and again. With Pacaso, you can find a luxury second home, pick the right amount of ownership for you, and leave the details to us.

The best way to own a luxury second home

Co-owning with Pacaso is the smart choice for a home you'll periodically enjoy throughout the year. Purchase 1/8 or 1/4 of your dream property, share costs with fellow co-owners, and get exclusive access for you and your loved ones.

Simple scheduling

Book stays easily in the Pacaso owner app, and enjoy your home for an average of 6-7 times during the year.

Resale

Sell your home at a time and price of your choosing — Pacaso shares historically sell for an average 10% gain.

We fully manage every aspect of your home from maintenance to billing, so it is always ready for you to enjoy.

It’s your home, not a timeshare

Frequently asked questions

How does Pacaso co-ownership work?

Pacaso streamlines the process of co-ownership for owners. We do the heavy lifting of bringing together buyers to co-own a home, and we serve as the corporate guarantor of the loan, facilitate scheduling stays, and provide ongoing maintenance. As a Pacaso owner, you choose the amount of ownership that works for you and enjoy a luxury property that might be out of reach on your own. Plus, your home comes fully furnished and professionally designed.

Do I really have ownership in the home?

Yes. Owning a Pacaso is true real estate ownership. You purchase a share in a property-specific LLC. The home is fully managed and designed specifically for co-ownership.

How do I schedule time to use the home?

You book time using the Pacaso app, powered by our SmartStay™ scheduling system. It’s easy to use and equitable for owners, based on the number of shares you own. The system supports two types of stays: advance and short-notice. Advance stays are scheduled 8 days to 24 months in advance, and each owner has access to an advance stay that falls on a special date (e.g., federal holidays and popular local events). Short-notice stays are booked 2 to 30 days in advance of arrival. (Note: For homes with unsold shares, the short-notice booking window is 2-7 days in advance of arrival.) See additional scheduling FAQs for more details.

What if I want to sell my ownership in the home?

You can sell at any time at a price of your choosing. We have an active network of interested buyers, and the home will also be listed on Pacaso and promoted across our marketing channels.

What down payment is required to purchase a share of a second home?

Buyers can finance up to 70% of their purchase. A minimum down payment of 30% is required.

Can I finance my second home purchase?

Yes. We have integrated financing available to offer our buyers. You also are welcome to use other sources of capital such as home equity financing or cash.

How are prospective owners evaluated?

We vet all owners, who agree to a common-sense owner code of conduct. The home will be reserved for the exclusive use of owners and their guests.
