Most buyers ask, "Am

the resale market instead of buying directly through the resort? "Buying
resale will save you 40%-80% on your purchase - giving you the ability
to buy a better resort than if you purchased a new share. In most cases
the developer wants you to buy your time share through them at a greater
price, but the truth is, they are happy to have you on board as a time
share owner, regardless of how you purchased your time share.
Understand the types
of time shares. With a fixed property time share, you
will use the same property each time. Make sure that the time share is
available when you regularly go on vacation each year, especially if you
don’t have much flexibility in choosing your vacation time. Floating
time shares offer great flexibility. You're entitled to a certain number
of days a year, but those days can change from year to year to fit your
schedule. You're guaranteed a similar time share property every time you
vacation, although you'll often have different accommodations.
Is time share considered
real estate? Although it is similar, time share is not considered
"typical real estate". (truth about time share) You can't hang
a for sale sign out front, or bring prospects to view it. Don't expect
a grand return on your investment when it's time to sell. The ROI comes
from all those years of vacation memories and fun.
Purchasing the right
property for your needs is the most important start to your vacation.
Knowing what you’re looking for and getting the information on
what the resorts have to offer is very important. Know what week you are
looking for, how much room you need. Where the resort is located, and
how close are the places you would like to visit are also important to
know before buying.
How much are the maintenance
costs. Know what you will have to pay in yearly maintenance fees.
Ask how much they will go up every year and be ready to pay them whether
the time share is used or not that year.
Is reselling my time
share hard? Sale price will be influenced mostly by the quality of
and demand for the time share you own. High quality/demand time shares
bring the highest resale values.
Will you be renting
out the time share? Some owners rent their time share during the weeks
they are not using it. If you would like to try this approach, make sure
to buy time share where there are plenty of attractions and night life
is hot.
