Disadvantages of timeshare ownership

By Dean Grzelak


Time share means that the right to use the property, mostly a resort condominium unit or a home in which multiple parties has the right to use. Before investing in a vacation property you will have to know the advantages and disadvantages of timeshare ownership. In timeshare ownership you pay for staying in a home or condominium with other people and do not have any ownership of the property. Despite the rising costs of the property, timeshares are very popular today. Timeshare resorts seem to be attractive but there are some disadvantages to take care of.

Before buying a timeshare property you will have to consider whether it suits to your lifestyle and finances. Timeshare ownership is an investment in an exotic vacationing spot but the buyers may get disappointed if they are buying the timeshare property for its appreciating property value. The biggest disadvantage of time share is the lack of appreciation.

Lets talk a little bit about trying to resell on of these things. It is hard and the resell market really isn't anything like normal real estate. You aren't going to get your money out of it. Another bummer about timeshares is that you can't send any of your family or friends on vacation with it as you will be blocked from going again in the same year.

Yearly maintenance charges should be paid despite of the fact whether you use it or not. There is a need of advanced planning for spending a comfortable vacation at the timeshare property. The owner of the timeshare property has to interact with exchange companies and has to deal with the costs.

When purchasing a timeshare property there is an up front expense that the owner has to deal with. Banks and mortgage brokers are not interested to mortgage timeshare properties. So it is necessary to arrange the entire amount required for the purchase of timeshare property. People do not like to spend their vacation at the same location every year as there is no variety which makes people to avoid timeshare properties.

These types of properties are not good for those who like spontaneous traveling especially in peak season. Timeshares are very expensive and if you purchase a timeshare from a specific resort, you will have to pay more for it. Above these you will have to pay high interest rates also. Mostly they will charge an interest rate of 16%.
