As someone who has sat through several of them (and has bought a few), this is exactly, almost word-for-word (right down to the references to the complaints about the rest of the industry) the elevator pitch for every timeshare/vacation ownership scheme ever.
> Unlike a timeshare, Ancana owners own a real asset (the property) versus a block of time.
Like literally every timeshare/vacation ownership scheme I’ve seen other than in places where there are legal constraints (like Mexico’s limits on foreign ownership of certain real property) that get in the way involves deeded fractional ownership of specific real property. This is, again, false differentiation.
The only thing somewhat novel here seems to ve the limitation to no less than eighth shares and the initial high-demand date guarantee (obviously the former being key to permitting the latter.)
Another real point of differentiation is that (at least from your pitch, and people that have these features tend to highlight them in their basic pitch) is you don't seem to have a relationship with a network of exchange properties besides the deeded property, which is great for people who want to spend 6+ weeks a year, every year, in the same vacation spot, but less so otherwise.
