Do I really have ownership in the home?

Yes. Owning a Pacaso is true real estate ownership. You purchase a share in a property-specific LLC. The home is fully managed and designed specifically for co-ownership.

How do I schedule time to use the home?

You book time using the Pacaso app, powered by our SmartStay™ scheduling system. It’s easy to use and equitable for owners, based on the number of shares you own. The system supports two types of stays: general and short-notice. General stays are scheduled 8 days to 24 months in advance, and each owner has access to a general stay that falls on a special date (e.g., federal holidays and popular local events). Short-notice stays are booked 2 to 7 days in advance of arrival. See additional scheduling FAQs for more details.

What if I want to sell my ownership in the home?

You can sell at any time after your first 12 months of ownership, at a price of your choosing. We have an active network of interested buyers, and the home will also be listed on Pacaso and promoted across our marketing channels.

What down payment is required to purchase a share of a second home?

Buyers can finance up to 70% of their purchase. A down payment of 30% is required.

Can I finance my second home purchase?

Yes. We have integrated financing available to offer our buyers. You also are welcome to use other sources of capital such as home equity financing or cash.

How are prospective owners evaluated?

We vet all owners, who agree to a common-sense owner code of conduct. The home will be reserved for the exclusive use of owners and their guests.
