While
resort time shares companies continue to sell millions of timeshare vacation
accommodations each week, there are a lot of secrets that the time share
industry would rather potential buyers not know.
A
time share can make sense for some people, but for most people, they aren't near the great deal that they are made out to be by the timeshare sale people.
Here
Are Some Secrets That The Time Share Industry hopes You Never Discover.
1. Time
Shares Are a Lousy Financial Investment
In
fact, they aren't an investment at all, since it makes little sense to put
money into a depreciating asset and expect a return. That is why today so many
want a timeshare
cancellation.
While
most people already know time shares are a bad investment, however, timeshare
sales representatives are still pushing time share sales as a quality
investment.
They
still use words during the sales presentation to give the impression that
purchasing a time share is a good financial investment, when in fact, it’s far
from it.
2.
You Can Get The Same Time Share For Far Less Money
When
it comes to a timeshare resale.
Time shares are notoriously difficult to sell if not impossible. That means
that those who have purchased a time share but no longer want it have to keep
paying all the annual cost of owning the timeshare.
3.
You Lose Big Time When You Sell – (If You
Can Ever Sell It)
As
mentioned above, timeshare resales are extremely difficult even for the
best of them. It’ is very similar to a car driving off a dealer’s lot, most
time shares will lose 80% to 90% or more of their value the second you sign on
the dotted line.
In
most cases, the timeshare owner will be trapped with a time share unit (and the
yearly fees) that they can’t even give away. You read right, they can’t even give the timeshare away.
4.
It’s Cheaper to Rent a Time Share Than To Own
Every
year there are lots people who can’t use their time shares for all kinds of
reasons. Instead of just letting the time share sit unoccupied during the time
for which it is already paid, many time share owners try to rent out their
weeks to recoup some of their money.
In
many cases, you can rent the same week at the exact same resort for far, far
less than it would cost to own the same timeshare unit (and many times for less
cost than the time share annual fees would be) and without any of the buying
risks that come with time share ownership.

entire timeshare contract.
5.
Miss One Year And You Would Be Better Off Not Owning A Time Share
All the calculations the time shares sales people offer will be
assuming that you use the time share each and every year for years into the
future.
One reason so many people want a timeshare
cancellation is,
when all costs related to the time share are taken into consideration, a time
share’s price can be much more expensive than non-timeshare vacations. But this
by itself, does not mean that it’s a timeshare scam.
6.
Time Shares Ownership Comes With Many Risks
When you purchase a time share, you purchase a part of that
building. That means that if there is a disaster, you are responsible for a
portion of rebuilding the time share.
While time share resorts are supposed to retain adequate insurance, many
times they don’t always carry the amount they are supposed to, and there are
certain disasters for which coverage may be too expensive.
This leaves you the timeshare owner responsible for covering
these losses if and when the unfortunate should happen and you cannot send a timeshare
cancellation letter or
just cancel
timeshare whenever
you want too just because something bad happens.
7.
If You Can NOT Pay In Full – A Timeshare Is A Very $$$ BAD $$$ Investment
Another issue that the time share sales people will often leave
out during the calculations is the cost of financing a time share, which is
always very high.
Banks know very well that time shares will lose their value and
therefore do not even consider them in the real estate loans they offer.
Instead of low rates that are tax-deductible, a time share loan
will come with a very high double-digit interest rate and in most cases will
not be tax-deductible.
When you add the cost of this financing to the overall cost of
the time share, it makes little financial sense to purchase a timeshare if you
cannot pay for it in cash.
8.
Hotel Prices Are Increasing (but
so are time share prices and the annual fees)
Another one of the tricks time share sales people use is telling
you how much hotel prices are increasing and then telling you that your time
share will remain the same price 15 to 20 years from now.
What they fail to tell you is that the time share fees are not
locked at the current rate and will also increase as time goes on so the time
share can be upgraded to keep up with newer competition.
This means all that money you were supposed to save is unlikely
to never materialize.
This is a big reason so many people want to cancel timeshare
contract and
why many people call them timeshare scams.
9. Trading
A Timeshare Is NOT As Easy As They Claim
When you hear the time share sales pitch, the sales people will
make it sound like you will be able to trade your timeshare unit around the
world with ease.
The truth is rarely is it easy to trade or exchange, and often
you will have to pay additional fees to make a trade possible and once the
trade is started the timeshare cancel is also very hard to do.
If you won’t be going to the exact same place each year, a time
share won’t save you any money and will likely cost you a lot. This is another
reason many people call time sharing timeshare scam.
10.
Travel Is Not Calculated When Comparisons Are Made
One of the BIG,
BIG tricks
time share sales people use when trying to show you what a “great deal” time
shares are is, they will include your travel expenses when calculating the cost
of your current vacation, but very conveniently NOT include travel costs when
calculating the cost of buying the time share.
If you are not paying close attention, you may believe you’re
getting a great deal when in reality all or most of the savings came from
simply leaving out the travel expense that you must still pay.
