For starters, my personal advice is to rent, not buy. Why would you want the long term (and ever increasing) annual maintenance fee obligations and legal responsibilities of U.S. timeshare ownership if you actually live in Australia? Annual fees are a guaranteed part of timeshare ownership, regardless of whether or not you get to actually utilize what you purchased in any given year. Do you really want to sign on to all of that if having to travel from Australia? It is your decision, of course, but you would be wise to think this through a bit more. Second, RedWeek is essentially a web site; an online advertising platform. RedWeek does [b]not[/b] own or sell timeshares. If you buy a timeshare advertised on RedWeek, you are buying “resale” from some timeshare owner who is merely using the RedWeek site to advertise. The actual usage rules and annual fees of any timeshare are determined [b]exclusively[/b] by the underlying timeshare company (e.g., Hilton, Wyndham, Hyatt, etc.). It does not matter one bit from whom you purchase your timeshare — nor where you live. The annual costs, usage rules, reservation procedures apply equally to any and all owners within any given timeshare “system”. Hope this helps. Good luck.
