Question 1

What does each different share mean?

Accepted Answer

There are two levels of fractional ownership and three different categories:

Level
Full: 2 weeks every year (1 in the summer and 1 in the winter)
Split: 1 week every year (alternates between summer and winter)

Category
Regular: Weeks rotate through the entire year
Deluxe: Summer week only rotates in July & August
Shoulder: Summer week rotates from April-September excluding July & August

Question 2

Is Marble Canyon just a fancy timeshare?

Accepted Answer

No. In Marble Canyon you are entering a co-ownership agreement which means you are becoming a fractional owner of a specific vacation home, not leasing time at a resort. Purchasing an undivided deeded interest in the property gives you ownership of 1/26 or 1/52 of the entire unit and its chattels. Like any real estate investment, that equity is subject to appreciation. That means as the market prices in the area increase, so too does your investment. With this investment: you can sell your equity, bequeath it, or transfer ownership to your children. There is no threat of lease retirement, it is yours until you decide to take one of the aforementioned actions. On the other hand, a timeshare purchase provides you an annual vacation, not lifelong equity. Benefits come in the form of access to exotic sites around the world and, depending on where you, are a low buy-in with high annual maintenance fees. Typically, your purchase price entitles you to holidays for a specified time (i.e. 40 years). Most timeshares let you sell or transfer your rights. However, because timeshares become less valuable with each passing year, their resale value is typically very low.

Question 3

Can I own a share as a corporation?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Many corporations have purchased at Marble Canyon for a wide variety of reasons; financial, employee-based, customer relationship management, etc.

Question 4

Can I purchase a single share with another couple/individual?

Question 5

Who looks after my vacation home when I'm not there?

Accepted Answer

Fairmont Creek Property Management/Rentals (http://fairmontcreek.ca/)is the professional management company that looks after Marble Canyon. Your property, along with 21 other properties in Marble Canyon, are managed and maintained by Fairmont Creek. By becoming a fractional owner you will have the benefit of on-site maintenance and cleaning crews to ensure that there is nothing that stands in the way of your enjoyment while on vacation in Fairmont Hot Springs. They are also a professional rental agency so if you intend to generate some rental revenue from the time you own in your vacation home it is as hassle-free as possible. All you have to do is identify the time you would like to rent and they will handle the rest; marketing, administration, bookings, and payment.

Question 6

If my week rents do I share the revenue with the other owners in my vacation home?

Accepted Answer

No. The revenue generated from the time you own is not shared. There is a 25% management fee charged on the gross revenue for the work done by Fairmont Creek. Therefore, if we rent your week for $2,000 you are eligible for $1,500. This money can be sent to you in a cheque or kept in-house and used towards future maintenance fee payments for your ownership.
