Re: Timeshare Newbie question - (by William P.):

Look at your contract. It will say, but in most cases the resort doesn't care as long as they get there money. renting a property is a definite advantage, We have rented ours for more than MF's with extra to boot. All the points you make are good ones, in that you have the possibilities to make your money back pus. With the possible renting plus using when you want, is exactly what we do. All we are saying is to be informed, and use the forms here and on Tug to get the facts. If owning looks good to you, by all means do so. I know of people who have many time shares, and rent them, or use them. most are retired and spend months traveling. But they have the research, used resales at prime resorts to insure they get what they need out of it, and may never spend one day there. Just do your home work, double check every offer, and ask questions. There is no such thing as a stupid question. Also don't buy at developer prices, buy resale. Perks are most generally goes with the resale. There a movement(with much debate in the forums)that people who are buying resale would be left out of developer perks or in some cases if it's a hotel resort cut out of some perks there. If your buying resale for points to move around it doesn't really matter as long as everyone you would rent to wants to be there also. Buying for points or buying because you would be there yearly more than 50% of the time are 2 different things.
