Buying a Timeshare - A Good Vacation and A Good Investment
If you are a regular vacation taker, you might have that place
that you would really like to live. Some location you keep going
to year after year. If you've got that special place, you need
to take a look at buying a timeshare.
A timeshare is essentially the right to use a vacation home for
a period of time every year. You'll get a couple of weeks every
year where you can live in that dream spot you've always wanted
to live. Often, it's out of your price range - the best spots to
live usually are also the most expensive. But if you buy the
rights to live there for a couple of weeks only, it will usually
be within your ability to afford it. The best part is that you
don't have to go every year if something comes up. If you find
out that you can't make it one year, you can easily rent out
your week to someone else. Ebay is a great source for this, or
you can go through a travel agent. This makes timeshares a good
potential investment as well - buy a couple of timeshares in
different places that you like, and you can rotate your annual
vacation to a couple of cool places that you'll want to be at.
You need to look at the amenities and the services available in
the area - who is running the house or condo is very important,
and you have to make sure it's a reputable company. You don't
want to end up with a lemon, so buy through a respected real
estate or travel agent.
