I am looking into buying a timeshare in Gatlinburg, TN. I am worried about getting scammed. What important information should I get? Right now it looks like I would pay the $100 fee for the deed plus a filing fee for a quick claim deed. Is it possible for someone to be behind on maintenance fees or still owing money on a mortgage for the unit resulting in that debt being passed to me? If so, who do i contact to find out?

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Do your 'due diligence' .... by that I mean have the owner produce a copy of the deed of their ownership ..... after that you can call the resort explaining that you're in the process of buying from the owner and ask if the owner is up to date on their maintenance fees or any other fees.
