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?

What is a timeshare? I listen people talk about that they have timeshares but i dont know what it is. How does it work?

Timeshare at its core is essentially a group of people sharing the cost of a vacation home.

The word "timeshare" has grown over the decades to include a wide variety of vacation products and plans. Also known as "vacation ownership" "holiday ownership" and "interval ownership" , its umbrella covers traditional deeded timeshare ownership, fractional ownership, private residence clubs, points clubs, and more. Some would even broaden the term further to include campground memberships and the " condo hotel" concept, in which a condo is purchased outright but the owner is only allowed to use it for a specific periods of time and it is rented by a hotel management company for the remainder of the time.

Regardless of how loosely or rigidly you choose to define the term, the basic premise of timeshare is simple. You and a group of other people share the purchase cost of a vacation accommodation, in increments of one week (or more) per year of use, thus guaranteeing your ability to use that accommodation during the period of time you choose, either for life or for a specified number of years. Accommodations range from hotel rooms to condos, from cabins to luxury houses and castles, from yachts and cruise ships to RVs and houseboats.Owning timeshare in the traditional sense means a condominium/villa/house/hotel unit, etc. is subdivided into 52 separate units of time (52 weeks in 1 year), and usually sold to a maximum of 51 owners (leaving one week each year closed down for annual renovations and/or maintenance). Each owner would own 1/51 of the unit. Each share repesents one week of vacation. Each owner is entitled to ownership rights and privileges of the shares that they purchased.

This system makes vacation home ownership possible for many people who cannot afford a second home or who otherwise would not be able to enjoy such resort facilities. It is important to remember that purchasing timeshare should never be viewed as a financial investment with the expectation of gaining a profit in either reselling it or renting it to someone else. Timeshare is an investment in lifestyle, in future holidays, in family time together, and when viewed that way it can be a good investment indeed.
