If you sat in on a sales presentation recently and considering the purchase of a timeshare, this article is definitely for you. Learn as much as you can about the timeshare industry and how timeshare works. Learn about timeshare exchange and what resorts you can trade for as well as how you can rent out a timeshare for cash. Most buyers are surprised that they bought a timeshare because they never knew they were considering it. It just happened.There is an old industry saying that timeshares are sold, not bought. It is the job of professional salespeople to get you to say yes to a purchase. Timeshare salespeople are very skilled in highlighting the pros of owning a timeshare and overlooking or downplaying the rest of the information. It all sounds so good when you are in the chair listening to the presentation. You and your spouse are relaxed and sitting in a beautiful resort and you're on a stress free vacation. Everything is just perfect. How could you not be an owner, right? You would be missing out if you passed up the opportunity. I've been in the industry for quite a while and learned a thing or two. Timeshare can be a good purchase for the right person and if you understand all the facts you will avoid buyer's remorse which is common after most large purchases. I'll share three of the most important concepts to understand before you lay down your credit card to make the timeshare purchase.
The first thing you need to understand is that at the moment there is little opportunity to ever sell your timeshare once you buy it so it's best to understand that timeshare is a long term purchase. So if you are going to buy, you should stick with the brand names of the business. There's Disney Vacation Club, Worldmark, Hyatt and others. You'll pay a little more but the benefits of ownership are better and if by chance you ever need to sell, this is more than likely the only chance you have of recovering any of the purchase price. All of these brands are well-known consumer brands so they have instant recognition and established trust to another buyer. Owning at a club such as these also provides benefits of being able to vacation at resorts within the club. Of course, if you are buying you shouldn't be focused on selling. You should be thinking about the pleasure of being an owner. But it's always good to consider the entire picture.
When you are making a purchase of this size, you should be thinking about the big picture. That means thinking about the entire cost, not just part of it. These fees includes the annual maintenance fees, the property taxes, the exchange club, the exchange fees and of course the monthly cost to finance. Consider the cost of ownership before you buy. Ask the salesperson about the annual maintenance fees and any other fees that you might have to pay. Very often they will discount the first year or two so ask them for a forecast of the next 5 to 10 years. Ask about a "cap" or the highest the fees will ever be to make sure this is something you can afford long term. I'm not going to say that salespeople will mislead you in understanding the full costs. I'm just forewarning you to protect yourself by understanding the entire picture.
As a society I think we lost sight of the concept of whether or not we can afford something. We were very comfortable going into debt for something we liked. My point is that you need to think long and hard about whether you can truly afford a timeshare. The timeshare salesperson is going to make financing sound really easy. "Oh, it's no problem, let me see what I can do." Yes, it's easy for him or her but then again they don't have to make the payments; You do. So if you have to finance this purchase, you are better off waiting until you have the cash. It makes no sense to finance something that will immediately be worth less than you paid five minutes after you purchase it.
Using timeshares on vacation has enhanced our vacation experiences over the years. We have not only exchanged timeshares but feel fortunate to have stayed in timeshare rentals. We are happy timeshare owners but I also understand that timeshare ownership is not for everyone. If you are interested there are certainly some important points that you need to understand. The first step is understanding these points and whether timeshare ownership is a good fit for you and your family.
