Time share means that the right to use the property, mostly a resort condominium unit or a home in which multiple parties has the right to use. Before investing in a vacation property you will have to know the advantages and disadvantages of timeshare ownership. In timeshare ownership you pay for staying in a home or condominium with other people and do not have any ownership of the property. Despite the rising costs of the property, timeshares are very popular today. Timeshare resorts seem to be attractive but there are some disadvantages to take care of. If you're looking into buying a timeshare, take a look at you life to see if that what fits you. Can you afford a timeshare? One of my personal problems with buying a time share is the absolutle lack of appreciation. You are looking into buying a small fraction of a resort in most likely an exotic and sought after location. Since you are buying a piece (regardless of how small) of real estate I would expect my piece to appreciate. However, with timeshare ownership you get nothing, nada, zilch. The resale market of timeshare does not increase as of other properties. In timeshare ownership you cannot oblige your friends and relatives and send them for a vacation to that resort because you would get blocked from going there in the same year. There are often high yearly maintenance fees you are going to have to pay. These fees must be paid every year regardless if you actually used your time or not. When planning your trip at your timeshare there is a lot of time involded. Booking with your exchange company and dealing with taxes and other associated costs you were never aware of. Ok, so you've decided to go ahead and purchase a timeshare membership. How are you planning on paying for it? Tradional mortgages are not available to financie your timeshare, so you are left to pay for it out of pocket or open yourself up for some other type of creative financing you may stumble upon. Are you sure you really what to do this? After all who whant to vacation in the same location (and often the same exact room) every year? Not me. Timeshare ownership is simply not for the spontaneous, drop of the hat traveler. And timeshares are really expensive. If you want to select a peak week at a specific resort you are going to pay a pretty penny. If you cannot apy the entire amount upfront you will most likley be offered some sort of financing option that has a rediculous interest rate (I've seen some at 16%). Sorry but this is just not appealing to me. If you are interested in going for vacations do not choose timeshare properties when you have a 100 year membership for world travel.
