For decades, owning a second home followed one of two paths:

Buy it yourself → overspend, underuse, manage headaches
Rent every year → spend endlessly, build nothing

Neither option makes much sense for thoughtful, financially intelligent families. That’s why a new model is quietly becoming the preferred choice among high achievers:

Luxury home co-ownership.

Not a timeshare.
Not a vacation club.
Not a speculative investment.

But a smarter structure that gives you:

✔ Guaranteed time in homes you actually love
✔ Professional management (no logistics or maintenance)
✔ Rental income when you’re away
✔ Access to multiple destinations
✔ And capital deployed intelligently

In other words: A life upgrade, not another property to manage.

What Is Luxury Home Co-Ownership?

Luxury home co-ownership means purchasing a professionally structured share of a high-end second home alongside a small group of like-minded families. Instead of one family owning 100% and using it 2-4 weeks per year…

Four families each own an interest, and get predictable, meaningful access without wasted capital or time.

At GoForth, this typically means:

• 12 weeks of annual use
• your prime dates guaranteed
• fully managed homes
• income generation when not in use
• curated destinations like Park City, the Caribbean, Europe, and beyond

So rather than owning “a house,” you gain access to a lifestyle.

Why Traditional Second Homes Often Don’t Work

Before exploring co-ownership, it helps to understand the hidden friction of full ownership. Most second homes are:

1. Underused

Families typically use their home only 2-4 weeks a year.

That’s up to 90% sitting empty.

2. Expensive to Carry

Mortgage
Taxes
Insurance
Maintenance
Property management
Repairs
Furnishing
Utilities

All for something you barely use.

3. Logistically Heavy

Every trip becomes:
“Who cleaned?”
“Did the pipes freeze?”
“Did we restock?”
“Who’s coordinating maintenance?”

It starts to feel like work.

And work is exactly what you were trying to escape.

How Luxury Co-Ownership Solves This

Here’s how modern co-ownership flips the model:

Instead of…

One owner, 90% vacancy
Constant maintenance
Dead capital
Scheduling stress

You get…

Shared costs
Predictable access
Professional management
Income when unused
Multiple destinations
Zero hassle

It’s both financially intelligent AND life-enhancing. Not either/or. Finally, both.

What Makes GoForth Different

There are a few companies in this space, and not all co-ownership models are equal. At GoForth, we approach this differently because we’re not really in the real estate business. We like to say we are in the life transformation business.

Every home is selected intentionally for:
• the memories it enables
• the traditions it creates
• the life it unlocks

Not just spreadsheet returns.

Our approach:

✔ Guaranteed Time During Your Most Important Dates. Holidays. School breaks. Ski season. Summer.

You will never hope your home is available, you'll know well ahead of time the weeks you will be there.

✔ Fully Managed. Show up. Walk in. Live.

We handle:
• cleaning
• maintenance
• scheduling
• logistics
• operations

✔ Income When You’re Not There

Homes generate rental revenue when unused to offset ownership costs.

✔ Curated Global Portfolio

Mountains. Beach. International. You’re not tied to one place forever.

✔ Designed for Intelligent Capital

Appreciation + income + usage
Not dead equity.

Is Luxury Home Co-Ownership the Same as a Timeshare?

Short answer: No. Not even close.

Here’s the difference:

Timeshares sell “cheap vacations.” Co-ownership creates meaningful ownership + equity + lifestyle.

Huge difference.

Who Luxury Co-Ownership Is Perfect For

This model tends to fit families who:

• Have already built wealth
• Value time more than “stuff”
• Want consistent places to gather
• Don’t want management headaches
• Prefer smart capital deployment
• Care about experiences, not excess

If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t want another house to manage, I just want a place we love showing up to”, this might be exactly right.

Who It’s NOT For

It’s probably not a fit if:

• You only travel once every few years
• You want total control of a property 365 days/year
• You enjoy managing properties yourself

And that’s okay. The right model depends on your life stage and priorities.

Real Example: How Families Actually Use It

‍

Most owners don’t talk about square footage or ROI first. They talk about:

• kids learning to ski every winter
• annual family reunions
• hosting friends
• reconnecting with spouses
• traditions forming automatically

The home becomes a forcing function for living well. Not someday. Now.

How to Know If This Makes Sense For You

Not everyone should own a second home. But if you’re already spending $20k–$40k+ per year on rentals or dreaming about “someday” owning something meaningful, it’s worth exploring. We built a quick 2-minute assessment that gives you clarity fast:

👉 Take the assessment here

It helps you understand:
• if co-ownership fits your lifestyle
• what usage makes sense
• whether it’s financially smart for you

Or, if you prefer, we’re happy to simply talk it through like advisors, no pressure.

The Bigger Picture

At some point, most successful people realize we optimized for wealth, but we forgot to optimize for living. Luxury home co-ownership is simply infrastructure that helps you use what you’ve built because the real scarcity isn’t money, it’s time. And those windows don’t reopen.
