Any Advice From Timeshare Veterans For Some New People?

Oct 23, 2016

Hi I recently went in with another person and we bought a timeshare in las vegas at the Grandview - Of course it seems like a good deal but we would like strangers opinions - We got a 1 bedroom biannual maintenance fees are 191 per year we also have an extra week included every year that we are owners and then we also have unlimited - Last call for the price of 149 for affiliates and 219 for unaffiliated - We are going to make payments ant see how it goes but thing is the person we put it under between the two of us was going to declare bankruptcy anyways so we will decide if we add it on to the bankruptcy - Just wondering if it is worth holding onto - We also understand it is hard to trade it for other locations ? How hard is it to go other places besides Las Vegas Grandview?

Is there anything else that we should be considering in regards to this deal ?

Just wondering if this deal is a good deal or not - we intend to try and rent all the extras that we can- With the possibility of the Raiders moving to town and the Six Flags addition along with the bullet train from LA - Vegas seems like a good place to plant your flag - But again we are new and looking for any opinions at all -

If you are still within your rescission period, then rescind! Take your time to do research. If you feel that owning at this resort is practical, look to buy a resale for a tiny fraction of the cost.

Here on Red week, TUG, e-bay(but you should be careful on e-bay) watch for scammers on e-bay. There are many others, but always be careful, do your home work, and NEVER PAY UP FRONT look at the contract, be sure both seller and buyer are on the same page.

Craigslist and My Resort Network are also legitimate.
