What are the costs to maintain a timeshare (by James B.):

You have covered the costs that I am aware of, but think hard about this purchase. Just remember that it is an eternal purchase--after you are gone the deed goes to your heirs and on and on. You can not get rid of the liability until you give it away or sell it. You cannot just stop making the maintenance fee payments each year, as they will come after you or your heirs. You can rent a condo much cheaper. I have found there is no real benefit to owning. In fact, in my situation, it is a liability, not an asset.
