^^^ Many timeshares are available for free as just the cost of maintenance is similar to renting a comparable condo

Many owners eventually want to stop the perpetual bleeding though fees

There’s a big resale market for timeshares, I hate them but if you’re really considering it look in to buying from an existing owner instead

Do the math... what does it cost to “buy” one week? Multiply that by 52. Is it consistent with the cost of buying comparable real estate?

What’s the resale market look like? What are the maintenance costs? Why are high pressure sales tactics needed to move them?

You got suckered, don't worry, it happened to me too. Fortunately I was able to give it back (obviously at a 100% loss), my BATNA to that was a charity willing to take it off my hands for a fee (160% loss). Could have been a good deal though if we only wanted to vacation to the one place for the next 30 years, I will never know.

Buy used if u buy at all

Tons of people giving away their timeshares to unload the maintenance costs. Learn the rules of RCI or I... whatever the other name is.. exchanges.

Or just don’t get one:) you can find specific forums and ownership information for each of the properties at googling time share users group.

Don’t do it

Hard no

I have 3 of them over 1 million points that I use for family trips and rentals. For me it pays my fees every year. I also purchased 500k in resale so that helped with the all the other cost. Just make sure you use them or it is not worth it. My points are with wyndam

Avoid. I bought one and deeded it back to the company for free. Out about 10k on that transaction. Never touching it again

I don’t understand how someone can lie about loving you for 6 months. We were together for almost a year (broke up a week before our anniversary). I said I love you first and he said it back. I asked for more reassurance last month with saying I love you more often. Now all of a sudden he said he didn’t know if he loved me and that love meant marriage for him. Okay well great thanks for telling me this now, 6 months after it was initially exchanged. I don’t understand how he could do that.

Any tips for organizing a bedroom, closet, dresser & bathroom? My teen has IADHD, and low executive functioning. Her room looks like a land mine. Clean clothes are mixed in with dirty, her desk is a disaster, she won’t let go of clothes she’s outgrown, drawers are open with clothes hanging out. A therapist said to close her door if we don’t want to see it but it’s more than that. She needs this important life skill & I don’t know how to help. Easier to organize w/o her but that’s not a solution.
