1. Timeshares are not a good financial investment, regardless of what a timeshare sales rep tells you. If you buy from a developer, you are paying all their marketing expenses and the resale value of most timeshares is less than half of what they are sold for by most developers. Disney is virtually the only company that has a right of first refusal clause for resales, so for any other company I recommend buying resales only. For Disney Vacation Club, it’s a toss up. Do some comparison shopping and make sure you know what DVC is offering as incentives and what all the admin costs are on any resale purchases.

Timeshares and fractional properties have recently emerged as popular practices for owning properties. The premise behind these two concepts is a significant reduction in the amount needed to buy prime properties which enable a larger percentage of the population to buy.
A timeshare is as simple as the name suggests; this practice enables people to own any form of vacation property such as condominiums or cooperatives. This concept has been extended to apply to houseboats, yachts, campgrounds, motor homes, and cruises. Initially, the company owns the property and sells time periods of it to varied owners who share its costs collectively. Primarily, timeshare properties are available to the owners from one to three weeks during a year. These owners have several options to use their timeshare properties; these include
• Personal use
• Rental property
• Gift to anyone
• Exchange internally with other owners within the same property
• Exchange externally with owners of other timeshare properties

The idea of owning a timeshare is not a new one, but over the years, the concept has changed. One used to think of a timeshare as a house on the beach or in a resort area that was owned collectively by a group of people. In addition, it meant going to the same place and quite likely at the very same time every year. That concept has now changed, and many people are buying timeshares with companies who offer them in a variety of places. The single owners’ variety of timeshare property is almost outdated.

Timeshares are costly and very limiting. There are large up front costs and ongoing fees, which can be as much as $400 or $500 a month. Generally, timeshares can be used only once a year, some only every two years, and you can’t always get them when you want them. Most people don’t want to travel to the same place year after year. Because there are so many interesting and exciting destinations around the world, it makes absolutely no sense to invest your money in one destination. You can exchange your timeshare for another location, but this can be extremely difficult. Fortunately there is an exciting alternative that will save you thousands of dollars in the long term.
