One area we differ from a timeshare is an Ancana home is an investment in real estate. If the property increases in value, you capture the appreciation and if you decide to sell you make a profit.

People are finally realizing that's not a good reason to buy a house. If somebody wants to bet on real estate prices going up, shouldn't they just buy shares in a REIT?
It really only makes sense to bet on appreciation if you can leverage yourself into a property. I.E $200k down payment on a $1mm home means you’re making x% appreciation of the $1mm on a $200k cash investment…

Otherwise your best bet is just throw the money in a more liquid, synthetic vehicle like a REIT
