Re: Have some questions about Buying Time Share or rent hotel. (by Lance C.):

Created my hubby an account as to look into possibly buying. Posting this in hopes to get some insite for him and my bro in law. My hubby and bro in law will be moving to Orlando so my hubby can attend college there at MMI. His brother plans to stay there after hubby graduates. Would we be better off buying a timeshare instead of renting a hotel. Hubby will be there just over a year to study. Also, looking at some of the ad's I see the usage is annual. Can someone tell me if we can live there year round? What is it with a deed as well that I see listed? New to this so might be some stupid questions. Finding locations that are within 15 mins from the school that are listed for $3000 and up. Trying to see if there's a catch to this. I do see there is annual maintenance cost which I am fine with. We are just trying to find a place that is in a safe area, and close to the school. Any advice on how and what to do would be greatly appreciated. Plus the family would visit frequently throughout that year. All advice is welcomed to point us in the right direction. Thank you!!!!!

You do realize what a timeshare is, don't you? You basically buy one week to use each year for years on in until you get rid of it. Timeshares are not designed for people to live there year-round. They're designed for people to vacation there one week each year.
