Re: New to the ownership (by Don P.):

I don't think I can give you all that much information without going on and on but here are some facts. Timeshare ownership is considered real estate and when you purchase one it is yours for life or until you can transfer it to someone else. Along with ownership you are obligated to pay the ever increasing maintenance fees and assessments. You may want to rent first and see if it's for you.

There aere fixed weeks, floating weeks and points. If you do decide to buy I would recommend fixed week or floating week. Never buy from a developer. You can find good deals on this site, Ebay and other sites on the internet.

If you decide to rent you can use the same sites. I would also recommend that you call some resorts in the area that you intend to rent. Some of them have an in house rental program and you can book through their rental office just like a hotel. I rent my Las Vegas timeshare out that way. You also may have better luck finding enough room for your party.

Make sure you do your homework if you decide to buy and come back in here and ask lots of questions. There are many people in here that are more than willing to asnwer your questions.

Good luck and hope to hear from you again.
