Re: Timeshare Adventures,inc. (by Margaret C.):

I am not sure what timeshare you are interested, but maybe you can take a page from the Masterplan Document of the Marriott Desert Springs which reads as follows: According to Section 32.16 of the Masterplan document, any owner, prior to the sale of a timeshare MUST provide the prospective purchaser with a copy of (1) this Master Declaration, (2) the Bylaws, (3) the Articles, (4) the most recent financial statements of the Master Association and (5) a statement from any authorized representative of the Master Association listing all unpaid assessments and charges against the Subdivision. Besure to at least get a copy of the Masterplan of the timeshare you want to purchase and focus like a lazer beam on the financial statements---they are many---balance sheets, annual reports, reviews of balance sheets etc. After you have done this, you will have a much better feel for what the timeshare is worth and if you want to be tied to it for "perpetuity". If the seller will not cooperate--enough said.
