Re: Timeshares is good investment or not.

It is certainly time consuming and beginning Apr-08 I'm making money but I'm not getting paid for my time much. There are certainly economies of scale, and a balanced combination of direct and resale purchases, along with strategic partnerships with certain other owners is important. I know a few other large owners and agencies, the owners claim (not currently) to be charging more than I do for units. Some of it might be their superior sales skills, some exagerations, some could be they market in different locations than I do. One guy I know owns/owned 1.3 million DRI Club points as wwell as DRI weeks units. But last year he said DRI pressured him to sell units and downsize. In retrospect they might have done him a favor! And yes, this is a full time job and I admit I'm not taking as many vacations as I used to. I even have an admin and I work a lot. I'm looking forward to the return of pricing we had in 2007!
