Buying Timeshares

By Peter Emerson


Many families purchase timeshares so that they can spend their vacation together. People who are considering buying a timeshare need to find out why they want to buy a timeshare and what the considerations to be kept in mind are.

An investment in a timeshare is financially attractive for several reasons. If you have a large family, you can enjoy your holiday vacation with all your family members with less financial and mental stress if you own a hassle-free timeshare. If one does not want to go on the same vacation every year, timeshare may not be the right choice of investment, but one can choose to sublease their timeshare to profit off of the time that they are not there. Timeshares guarantee locales and vacation destinations, but owners have to pay annual maintenance fees depending on the location and the nature of the property.

When purchasing timeshares, one has to keep in mind several factors like location, price, flexibility, and lifestyle and recreational preferences. For example, if the buyer likes the beach, he cannot buy a timeshare in the resort located in a mountain range. One has to check whether the timeshare is part of an owner's club or association. Buyers can contact the Better Business Bureau to find this out. If the resort is affiliated with an exchange company, buyers have to check whether membership can be transferred. One should not buy timeshares sight unseen and they should not go for incomplete or unproven timeshares unless recovery of losses is stipulated in the timeshare contract.

One has to understand resort ratings while buying timeshares. Timeshares with higher ratings are usually much more expensive than those with lower ratings or those with less desirable locations. Examples of high demand areas are Hawaii, the California coast, Palm Springs Winter, the Florida coast and Orlando, the Caribbean, Cancun, Cabo San Lucas, Myrtle Beach, and Hilton Head Island.

The motive behind the purchase should be to buy a timeshare you will enjoy for a low cost. It is advisable to buy timeshares through a licensed real estate broker. If possible, buyers should buy insurance on the timeshare.
