I’m not 100% sure if you can or not, but they have their own rental system in place. This is marketed as a “you buy and we’ll rent it out while your not using it” type of deal. It’s not really something you would buy to live in, it’s more the new growing alternative to timeshares.
You’ll probably see less of a return if any but it would probably make for a far more relaxed experience.
I was trying to convince my dad to buy one after watch the Tim Tracker video but he wasn’t having it.
Genuinely though, if the exchange rate was back how it was 15 years ago with a 2-1 rate, I would give serious thought into buying a cottage. I think it would be a great investment to have for hopefully 40+ years of trips.
