What are the costs to maintain a timeshare (by Phil L.):
The main reason for buying a timeshare when they first started up and today and only reason to still buy is for your family vacations for years to come!
If you want to enjoy a resort every year with option to travel the world for your family vacations then a timeshare is still a good deal.
Buy resale and buy where your family could go every year and love it and you will enjoy timesharing.
I don't use the term investment because the only investment is the use your family will get over the years.
As far as cost you listed most but be careful of resorts with low maintenance fee's because many of these like Flordia area put no money a side for reburbishments of older resorts and then hit owners with special assessments on top of your maintenance fee's.
Our resort has never done this because all the plans are built in to the budget every year and have been for last twenty six years we have dealt with them. They have been warning owners of these tactics for years of these resorts that hit owners with these special assessment fee's because their game plan was a low maintenance fee helps sell units with no plans for few years down the road and all the upgrades that come up after years of use.
