Re: Where Should I buy RCI points Time Shares, What should I know first? (by Micah O.):
So I have looked at a few rentals. The ones that I looked at rent for between $150 to $400 a night. I could get similar points timeshares for about $2,000 to $5,000, with $400 to $900 annual maintenance (giving me 92,000 RCI points).
If I take the average I would be paying $250 a night for 7 nights ($1,750 for the week). Compared to the $650 for maintenance. Yes the initial cost adds to that, but it still seems better to buy not to rent.
Also for the 92,000 points I could trade for resorts around my local area (which are much less expensive) and take quick get-aways and end up with three to four weeks a year.
Why do you think rentals are better? I may be missing something...
