HOW PACASO WORKS

Second home ownership, simplified

More time in the places you love, with the people you love most. Own a share of a second home through fractional ownership, choose the share that fits how you live, and we handle everything else.

The modern way to own a second home

Most families use a second home a few weeks a year, so owning all of it rarely makes sense. With Pacaso, you own a 1/8 to 1/2 share of a home, held in the home’s own LLC. You pay for the time you use, not the months a home sits empty.

Ownership through an LLC

Truly yours, year after year

Pacaso is not a timeshare. You own a share of a home, held in its own LLC, and you are free to sell it. It is fractional ownership, fully managed by Pacaso. Owning the whole home is the old way: all of the cost and all of the upkeep, for the few weeks a year you are there.

Design

Your dream home, designed by the pros

Scheduling
