Re: Timeshares is good investment or not. (by Clifford D. W.):

Timeshares are NOT investments when examined in financial. Timeshares are purchased to accomodate family , small groups or individual vacation time. To my knowledge, there is NO timeshare ownership that contractually offers financial returns. Depending on the quality and location of the timeshare property and owership arrangements, some timeshares offer more ammenities to the owners. Timeshares should be purchased and utilized as owner ship needs for vacation are desired. When it becomes clear, that family and personal circumstances for vacations, using timeshares, are no longer accomodating, it is advisable to terminate the contractural obligation. Sell or give the timeshare away. Failure to use weeks which cannot be accumulated results in payment of ever increasing maintenance fees, neither,over which, owners have any control. This results in financial loss, when timeshares are proposed as investments. It has been and continues to be my opinion that "on the whole, the timeshare industries practices permits many questionable operations in the sale and re-sale of timeshares."
