I have a question about timeshare ownership vs vacation property ownership (by Juri H.):

Why do people prefer to purchase timeshares over actually owning their own place. I've never understood the fascination with timeshare when so many people get scammed repeatedly. Does it not make sense to just own the vacation property? Or does the annual maintenance and management of a second dwelling make it unattractive to own.

Please help me figure it out.
