Buying A Time Share

Posted on Aug 29, 2009 under Time Share | 24 Comments

If you can’t afford a vacation home, you’re certainly not alone. But many people opt for the next best thing…owning a share of a vacation home or condo that you visit once a year. They’re called Time Shares. Are they for you?

    Timeshares are a major waste and the schemes are usually for the rich. No average individual can pay maintenance, yearly fees and so on. It is better to rent a room for a week, negotiate the price with the manager, and choose wisely.

    Most time share companies make it seem like an investment. Which it’s just a way for the hotel chain to collect money when the room is not used. It’s like you pay money for an empty apartment and only use it according to the contract. which can vary. Major waste.

    if you spend money on vacation and do not buy a timeshare you will be @ 100% loss every year you go. I payed mine off after 3 years and now I am winning 2000% because the value is up on my investment and I use it for business and pleasure and I play like crazy. The economy does not bother me one bit because I can still travel like I am rich. i AM NOT RICH..but I travel like millionaire

    I have 1.5 month per year and in your case it is a personal choice for plush vacations..I hate hotels of any kind
    knowing out to work it is best…

    ?only $1200 a year maintenence fees? I could go on 3 or more vacations a year for your monthly fee cost and go to different places. If you think you are getting a deal that’s ok with me, but I still think that a timeshare isn’t in my best interest.

    maint is cool it …
    maint is cool it just pays for the upkeep, insurance,taxes, so the place stays nice and all resorts need them it is like HOA fees. other people take care of your resorts for you. Love it. it is worth every dime and because mine is payed off I pay only 1200 a year and the 300 was for both of us for a week

    So who is this …
    So who is this maintenance free timeshare with? Never heard of that.
    $300 for a cruise is now common.
    Glad you got a deal and like it.

    sorry you feel that …
    sorry you feel that way, I am married 2 children. to stay in a nice place and to just call a phone number and they do all the work. is worth millions to me. the maintanance fee is nothing. all my friends love times share and my wife needs a rest from the kids sometimes and so do I. If you are going to vacation at all this is a fantastic way to go considering mine has been payed off and I just went on a cruse, wife and I $300 for the 7 days with everything included..

    I love going to timeshare promo’s. Take their gifts and run. Don’t buy into the promise, they are selling nothing but ‘air’ and what they sell you and what you get are 2 different things. For the initial price and monthly fees you could bank the initial money and use the interest and principle to pay for vacations the rest of your life. What happens right before the TS expires? You get a bill for ‘refurbishing’ that’s huge and in your contract. Save your money.

    Time share is not a scam, I sold it for years and made good money doing it. Time share resorts are very quick payers and give good bonuses and prizes too like Swiss watches. Why on earth does it get a bad name, its fantastic.

    Buying time share is like eating beyond what you stomach can hold.Their sales rep often stretch your imagination and you become blure between fantasy and reality in the 90 minute presentation and their fees and other operating fees and payment are in such small letters that a 600 electronmicroscope can barely pick up.

    My job is actually converting old timeshare members who own Fairfield programs out of that system and who own timeshare weeks into points.
    Other good companies are Geo Holiday & Shell Vacation Club.

    LOL you can’t say one company is better than the other if you don’t own the other said companies.
    I know plenty of Fairfield members who are very unhappy with their program (Fairfield is now Wyndham) I know that Fairfield has plenty of restrictions that other companies don’t have (i.e every other yr memberships have alot of rules to follow if not used in the use yr).

    You got it. Wyndham, is the best company in the world. I own with them, it’s million times better than other companies.
