Re: What are the costs to maintain a timeshare (by R P.):

Also, be aware that the majority of maintenance fees rise every year with possible special assessments added. Before you get into the timeshare game, I would read everything you can on the subject for at least 6 months before committing to buy. Remember, it's much easier to buy a timeshare (millions on the resale market and some can't even be given away or sold for $1) than to sell one, and as a former poster stated a timeshare is yours until you sell it or it changes ownership .... it even goes to your estate upon death and the estate is then responsible for all fees.

Bottom line, educate yourself before committing .... make sure that timesharing is for you.
