Re: Newbie- has a question concerning purchasing at the same resort (by Bonnie A.):
Just another thought, before you also decide to purchase another timeshare depending on where this first one is located go on RCI or REDWEEK and take a look at the availability for different times of the year. If you see only a few timeshares for exchange or rent then you will most likely have a problem trying to get a 2nd exchange week at prime time. Several places like Orlando availablity is endless with the RCI companies but if you have a waterfront property further south or in the islands then its difficult to exchange and can be disappointing if your purpose is to exchange so make sure you "DO YOUR HOMEWORK " on this 2nd one prior to purchase if your plan is to exchange it . Sometimes when you weigh the financial end of it it might be better to just go on Redweek and pick up the 2nd week for your family on a rental as you will still have to pay your fees and exchange remember. Always do an availablity search first . What I do is print our the RCI pages on certain weeks year to year and keep them in a binder and date them so that I can refer back to that time frame for the next year and see what was available and the amount of units the also speeds up my decision as to when to rent. Hope this helps. Never be afraid to ask questions Newbie or not thats what we are here for . Enjoy !
