This kind of deal seems like it has to be extremely low-cost for an actual stay. You're already paying an annual fee to Pacaso, now every time you want to go, you're paying $200 for cleaning? Very soon it just makes sense to get a hotel, where you don't front out $100k just to walk in the door.

Same as any timeshare, as far as I can tell. My manager is big into timeshares himself, has two (side by side, even, in neighboring buildings on the same Hawaii beach), and extolls their virtues. One time while he was talking them up, I asked for more details and then started googling while we were on the call. I just don't see the draw of it. He goes to Hawaii the same time each year, every year. Gets the same condo, but cannot leave anything there. Pays per-night fees that are pretty close to what it would cost to just rent, on top of annual fees, on top of the initial $75K he spent to 'buy' it in the first place. Even buying them used for pennies on the dollar, it does not seem like any sort of good deal. I could get one for free, and I think my money is better spent renting a hotel room when I want to visit Hawaii.
