Advice: Timeshares are not investments and you should not expect to make money on them... They are for our enjoyment to use as vacation spots. Don't buy if you have no plans on using them or expect to make money on them. They are valuable as far as personal enjoyment comfort during your vacation stays and they are better than staying in motels and hotels... of course like anything else. There are better timeshares than others. so be carefull in choosing your vacation spots.. Enjoy your timeshare and don't worry if your making money on them...because your not... If you feel that your maintenance fees are getting to high to be worth while. Sell low and get out. Don't look at it as a lose but look at it as getting free from a debt.
when my aunt asked me to purchase in a florida timeshare resort with her, my understanding is that it is an investment that'll make my money grow better than putting it in a time deposit. that was two years ago. for six months now, we've been trying to find someone to sell our timeshare with but with no luck.
i guess i should've research more before putting in some of my savings in an investment that i don't really understand. well, that's too late now.
