Timeshares

This is an urgent request that you NEVER get involved with a timeshare. If you want to stay at a really nice condo resort, go to E-Bay and find one. It will only cost you a fraction of what owning one will cost. When there, DO NOT attend one of their sales pitch meetings. They are really good at convincing people to buy their own week.

The problem is this: Once you own the week, it is yours and your heir(s)’ FOREVER. The annual assessment continues to rise and there are often additional assessments for various “repairs” and “upgrades”. They will never take your week back, and will destroy your credit if you refuse to pay the annual fee.

There are companies that will “take them off your hands”, but they are very costly (to pay for transfer fees, title changes, etc.) and will find any and all excuses to delay concluding the process. In the meantime, you continue to pay the annual fees.

Please, do not get involved with anything that has “timeshare” attached to it.
