Re: New Sale or Resale: which is better? (by Joe L.):

Best advice I can give is to make sure you buy right (less than half the original cost of the timeshare), and only buy a resort with REASONABLE Maintenance fees. That is the ONLY way a timeshare can be a 'decent' deal, but still not a 'good' investment.

I am looking to buy a beachfront timeshare in southern California (near where I live.) I want something on the sand where my family and I can hang out and relax.

I know some of the timeshares are listed as beachfront, but when I mapquest the address, there is a street that has to be crossed.

Anything to watch out for in buying resale? We have never had a timeshare before. Thanks in advance
