TIMESHARE INTERVALS -
The vacation ownership industry has many different names for the
variety pf products that are being sold to individual consumers. A basic
one week interval is commonly referred to as a timeshare interval. Whether
you're selling one week intervals, biennials (every other year use), or
any other form of vacation ownership, funding is available through Ward
Financial for construction, acquisition, development, renovation and for
receivables. Describe to Ward Financial the type of interval you are selling
and we can describe for you how that project can be financed.
FRACTIONAL OWNERSHIP -
A growing segment of the vacation ownership industry is the popularity
of fractional units. In this type of project the units are sold in increments
of multiple weeks ranging from as little as two weeks of annual use all
the way up to quarter shares (1/4 of the year). The type of fractional interval
and its sale price has a tremendous impact on the type of financing that
may be available to the developer to build the project, and the "end
loan" financing that can be offered to individual buyers. Some fractions
sell at purchase prices in excess of $200,000 and require sophisticated
financing terms for that type of interval purchaser. Please contact Ward
Financial for information regarding what financing terms are available for
a fractional project.
VACATION CLUBS -
A popular method to provide vacation purchasers with more availability
than a fixed unit or a fixed time is the concept of a vacation club. This
type of product provides the consumer multiple locations within a specific
club system. Often times, a vacation club is combined with travel benefits
giving the vacation club member specific services as an amenity to their
purchase. Many developers in the industry think that the consumer paper
for vacation clubs cannot be financed. Nonsense. Contact Ward Financial
to access funding for vacation club receivables and inventory financing
to acquire additional sites for dale to the vacation club.
LAND LOTS -
Many of today's successful timeshare developers had their initial
start by selling the traditional second home or recreational lot. Before
the concept emerged of dividing up lots or units into "intervals",
purchasers had no other choice than to buy a single home or lot. Many individuals
overwhelmingly prefer this type of traditional ownership. If you are selling
land to individual consumers for second homes or other recreational use,
financing terms are available to provide to those purchasers. Attractive
financing to purchasers helps close sales and reduces overall sales and
marketing expense. Furthermore acquisition and development financing is
available to assist the developer with the capital necessary to expand the
project, build amenities, etc. For a description of specific terms available
for second home or recreational land lots, please contact Ward Financial.
CAMPGROUND AND RECREATIONAL
VEHICLES -
One of the mainstays of the vacation industry is the American love
affair of getting out into the wilderness. Projects offering membership
into campgrounds and parks with RV sites are popular within the vacation
ownership industry. Camping facilities having a good location, quality amenities
and quality facilities are attractive to buyers within many demographic
layers. A membership gives the buyer the flexibility of visiting a home
resort many times during the season as well as traveling to other locations
through exchange affiliation. This type of vacation ownership is typically
sold as a member ship and does not include a deeded ownership. Rest assured
a developer can offer financing terms to membership buyers. Ward Financial
can then convert those notes receivable into cash at very attractive interest
rates. The proper structure can then result in a profit from the financing
offered to those buyers. Furthermore, acquisition and development financing
is available to expand the resort, build amenities and/or acquire additional
sites. Please contact Ward Financial for more details on how receivable
financing can be structured for campground and RV park developments.
RIGHT TO USE / UDI -
Any resort offering memberships for the right to use the common areas
and amenities is commonly structured as an undivided interest (UDI). Many
developers incorrectly assume that since there is no deeded conveyance to
a member that financing is not available. It is not necessary to have a
fee simple title in order for receivable financing to be available to those
individual buyers. Additionally, all forms of project financing for acquisition,
development and construction are available for right to use projects. Contact
Ward Financial to learn how financing can be available to help facilitate
sales at UDI and right to use projects, as well as construction or development
financing for the resort. |
