Timeshares: The Good and The Bad

No this is not about vitamins. I am just using a site that I already own to talk about timeshares, the good and the bad.

There are good things and bad things about timeshares. So let’s look at the positives and the negatives.

The Good

  1. High quality furnishings.
  2. Location
  3. Flexibility in choosing exchange locations that match your needs and wishes – want a mountainside, lakefront, oceanfront, wilderness, or city? They are all available.
  4. Helps busy people make sure they take holidays.

The Bad

  1. The high cost of buying new from a sales representative of the company.
  2. Exchange fees
  3. RCI annual fee if you want to exchange
  4. RCI exchange fee if you want to exchange
  5. Assessment fees for unpredicted major repairs

Balancing the Good and the Bad

  1. Never buy a new timeshare unit direct from the company or developer
  2. Only buy used timeshare units in a well-maintained resort
  3. Only buy used timeshare units in a highly sought after area that will give you maximum trading power if you want to exchange it – or, for that matter, if you want to occupy it
  4. Only buy used timeshares that have excellent on-site amenities and/or in an area that provides close-by desired activities and amenities.
  5. Never buy a timeshare in the middle of nowhere – it will have minimal trading power and you will have trouble arranging exchanges.
