A timeshare is a unique variant on traditional real estate ventures as it does not involve the exclusive rights to a property. That is, several different parties, individuals or entities have equal rights to use a particular property. Most often, the properties utilized for time share purposes are condominiums. Timeshares are generally employed in vacation areas since this is where seasonal occupancy would be most beneficial. The bulk of timeshare properties are found in Florida and Mexico although they did originate in Europe and are popular on a worldwide basis. Please note: these timeshares are not rental agreements. Those who take part in the timesharing outright buy the property and share the right to use under the agreements of the sale. These separate groups would then be designated a specific time of the year where they would have the right to use the property. For example, entity A would have access in the winter, entity B would have access in the spring and entity C would have access in the summer. Generally, such access would be exclusive during their periods of rental. That is, entity A would not have any rights to use the property during entity C's time and vice versa.
