How is co-ownership different from a timeshare?
You hold a registered LLC membership interest, not a club point. You can sell, you have voting rights, and the asset is on a balance sheet.
A timeshare gives you the right to use a property for a fixed period each year. It's a use-right, not an asset. You can't sell it back to anyone but the operator (often at a steep discount), you have no claim on the underlying property, and the operator holds the strings.
A RYDA share is a registered LLC membership interest in a entity that owns a specific vehicle. You're a partial owner of the actual asset. Three things follow from that:
- If the LLC sells the vehicle, the LLC's proceeds are distributed pro-rata to members per the Operating Agreement.
- You can transfer your share to another verified RYDA member after the 12-month minimum hold. RYDA facilitates the LLC paperwork.
- You have voting rights on material decisions (sale, modifications, replacement) defined in the Operating Agreement.
Functionally: timeshares are unsellable use-rights with hidden costs. Co-ownership is real ownership with transparent costs.
