in need of advice (by Matthew W.):

Greetings, I have owned a timeshare for 4 years now (Palm Beach Shores Resort w/ RCI) in the Palm Beaches area of Florida and have mostly used it to exchange. I have not regretted purchasing until I actually stayed at my home resort (last week) and was disapointed with the unit size. We also visited the Marriotts Ocean Pointe Resort and viewed their beautiful 2 bdrm model for the upcoming Oceana Palms Resort. Which is to be completed in 2010 and is located about 1 mile north of the Ocean Pointe. I own (2) 1 bdrm units at Palm Beach Shores, which is a gold crown and beach front. one unit is anually and the other is bi-annually and both are on the weeks system in June. We do not wish to ever return to this resort, but would love to purchase at the Oceana Palms. However they are asking for a minimum of $25,000. So now I am at a croosroads....do I sell, rent, convaert to points system, upgrade to a more expensive time of year and use for trading power? Also, what are the disadvantages of purchasing aftermarket? espessially in the case of Marriott? Any help is appreciated! thank you for you time!
