Marriott Aruba Surf Club - looking for tips to buying a RESALE (by Alessandra R.):

I just got back from my 2nd presentation at the Marriott in Aruba for them trying to sell me points. I refused the offer both times due to cost and met several timeshare owners suggesting I buy a RESALE.

I'm looking for as much information as possible regarding the process:

1.What are some things I need to look out for when buying a timeshare?

2. How do I know it's a reputable seller?

3. What does the contract look like? What do I need to be aware of?

4. How long does it take to close? How easy is it to rent?

5. Do I want RTU or Deeded?
