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 you decide to purchase your timeshare you will have to figure out how you are going to pay for it. Traditional mortgages are not available for timeshare, so you will either have to pay the enire amount out of pocket or use another way of financing. Most people don't want to vacation in the same place every year, this is another big timeshare turn off for me.

If you are a spontaneous traveler timeshare ownership is really not for you. Timeshares are expensive (especially if you want peak season). If you want a specific resort it will be that much more. Besides how costly it can be some of the creative financing options available have interest rate at about 16%, can you say holy cow?
