Resort investment in India today means one of three structurally different things — and most generic guides confuse them.
Sale-leaseback unit ownership is the dominant model. You buy a specific identified unit inside a RERA-registered branded resort. The sale deed is in your name. You simultaneously sign a registered lease deed leasing the unit back to the developer or operator for 10–20 years. The operator runs the hotel; you receive a contractually fixed annual rent — paid quarterly, regardless of occupancy.
Fractional ownership is the lower-ticket alternative — you own a share in an SPV that owns the unit, with performance-linked returns rather than contractual rent. Direct hotel ownership is the institutional route — ₹15 crore+, full operating risk.
ResortWealth is built around sale-leaseback specifically because it offers registered title + contractual rent + bank financing + RERA compliance in a single instrument. The detailed comparison is in our sale-leaseback vs fractional guide.
