The Pros & Cons Of Owning A Timeshare

April 16, 2013 by The Runaway Guide Leave a Comment

san-blas-islands-time-shareLike any property investment, owning a timeshare comes with it’s pros and cons. On the one hand, you now have a place of your own in your favorite vacation spot. On the other you can only visit during your allotted time and  must deal with the paperwork and related fees that comes with your contract. Although you can relax in your own private holiday retreat and spend less over the long-term than a resort, if your desires change as they often do, you are stuck with the unavoidable fees surrounding your initial contract.

So, before buying a timeshare, you should take into the following pros and cons.

The prospects of owning a timeshare in your favorite mountain or beach side resort seems like an dream that is all too good.  It’s less expensive than buying, you still have your own place, albeit for part of the year, and you could potentially even profit from it if the market rises. Not only can you use it, but you can let your friends and family use it too.

On the other hand, a timeshare is, as it’s name implies a shared and temporary property. You can’t runaway to your ski lodge retreat on the spur of the moment. You can’t be bold and spontaneous and are restricted to the details of your contract. You are subject to maintenance and other fees. If you want to visit somewhere new, it’s often difficult to find a timeshare exchange.

Fortunately, a few companies have emerged to address your timeshare troubles. One company in particular is ideal for those who want to untie themselves from their financial timeshare obligations. This company is Right Choice Transfer.

Right Choice Transfer specifically specializes in relinquishing timeshare contracts permanently, including any associated maintenance fees.  They are professional, are well informed of all legalities involved and guarantees financial relief through a variety of options. However, since they only accept a limited amount of timeshares, it is best to inquire sooner than later.

While there are companies that help reduce many of the cons associated with owning a timeshare, you must still decide whether the pros outweigh the cons. This requires looking into the future and envisioning your long-term goals and desires. Because when or if a time comes where you want to relinquish your timeshare holding, it’s going to be one big hassle. No matter what company you turn to, you won’t be able to avoid it. So be sure to head the pros and cons of owning a time share before you make any hasty investments.
