Re: Buying timeshares (even resale) (by R P.):

Also, be aware when buying a timeshare that you are responsible for yearly maintenance fees as long as the week is in your name. In other words, you pay for the initial cost of the timeshare and you also pay to use it each year (maintenance fees).

That's why I suggest buying a timeshare if you can vacation only at certain times of the year (summer in popular areas, holidays in popular areas, winter ski season in popular areas or if you prefer a certain location or unit at a resort (re: oceanfront, poolfront etc.), and even then I would research rentals on the internet first to see what's available before purchasing anything.
