Re: Can't make payment on my timeshare. What are the consequences? Please need some help. (by R P.):
BTW, you are correct in that people that buy from a developer pay a huge upfront cost in the thousands of dollars then have to pay a yearly maintenance fee to enable the buyer to use their week. In other words you're buying a very expensive contract in order to use (in the forum of maintenance fees) your unit each year.
I once pointed this out to a, seemingly, very intelligent accountant who was a moderator on another forum ..... his answer was "you've got to be kidding me" like my statement made absolutely zero sense to him. It makes zero sense to me to buy a developer timeshare for mega-bucks then turn around and have to pay yearly maintenance fees to be able to use it.
