We are thinking about buying timeshare and would like to compare to what the cost is verses the cost of the timeshare and what the trend has been. I can’t find any data online. Please help!

im interested in buying timeshare and they always tell you all the good and never the bad. Can anyone tell me some drawbacks to timeshare or experiences that you have had?

Thinking about buying timeshare and I need all the information I about can get about timeshares

I just spent a week in Cabo san Lucas and I want to buy one.

I have looked at RCI and WorldMark by Wyndham to be able to have access to nice vacation facilities through out the world.

Are there any other options like this?

But with a timeshare I think I get more rooms.

Is buying a timeshae worth it with those annual fees?

Also, how do I guarantee I get the time I want every year, I know what time of the year I want to go

A neighbor owns a vacation timeshare condo in TX. They have spent about 5 months off and on at this place this year. The rules say they get one week per year. When I asked about that she says they have bonus time but won’t go into details. Is it really possible to get that much time? How does that work? Thanks!

Is it really worth it to buy into time share? Considering all the fees and payments, even becoming a member of RCI, is it worth all the money to buy into timeshare?

Some deals have you purchase a deed for a week or more at one resort. You own it and can use it, sell it, gift it, or put it in your will for your children or whoever. Is it a scheme or is it actually worth it?

Should you buy a timeshare? Yes and no is my best answer. Let me explain. I have spent the last 25 years showing people all over the world the benefits of timeshare and I know that the vast majority of them are happy with this type of vacation. I know this because for the last 5 years I have only dealt with people that already owned a timeshare and were interested in more. So that’s the yes part of is timeshare a good deal. Many millions of people all over the world have invested billions of dollars in timeshare and many more will do so in the future.

Then why do I also say no?

Because it’s not for everyone. If you bought at a location that you would love to return to every year, it works great, but if you bought it to exchange like many do, then there are better choices available. There are travel networks that allow you to stay in these very same timeshare locations each year as much as you want, at a fraction of the original timeshare investment and without the expensive yearly maintenance fees. 

My best advice if you decide to get a traditional timeshare is to be sure that you buy resale. Every timeshare being sold by the major companies is available on the resale market for 50 to 70% less. You can find connections to resale brokers all over this site.

Finally, for those of you that already have a timeshare that’s not working for you, don’t give up. There are ways to get great benefits out of the exchange company that only the real timeshare experts know. Check out “Secrets to Exchanging Your RCI Timeshare”.

So, should you buy a timeshare? The answer is yes…if you know where and how to buy it and you learn how to use the exchange.
