Timeshares are they worth it? in orlando florida? |
Travel Info or should i just save my pennies for a downpayment on a villa in orland florida. Travel Tips Why buy when you can rent a 4star condo and not shell out cash for the time share as well as yearly maintenace fees http://www.DisneyNeighbor.com Others I wouldn't touch either at the moment the rental market in Orlando is saturated the timeshares are worth it if you can use it i have one but i am living in Europe right now and need to sell it that's that hard part if you get one then don't want it anymore then it is hard to get rid of but if you have a week every year then its good specially considering that there is so much to do in and around Orlando you could rotate activities and have lots do do every year The issues with timeshare generally are twofold: 1. Most work on a fixed week basis so you would commit to the same week every year 2. Management/maintenance fees can be a hidden cost, these are payable annually so always find out how much upfront. Other than this the best suggestion I can make is to look for second hand timeshare bargains online, you have plenty of protection and the pricing is at least 40% less in most cases for the same resort. Timeshare weeks can be exchanged through RCI for holidays elsewhere and at different dates too but if you have children at school the cost of school holiday flights oten means package hols are still the best way to go - if no kids it's a winner every time experienced timeshare owner If you have no children at school and can travel there during off peak seasons, sometimes might be worth it. The problem is that everyone wants to travel at the same time and you get charge a premium for the peak seasons. My father in law owns 2 timeshares, pays about $2500 USD total per year including maintenance fees for both, and spends about 20 weeks out of the year there. But he is retired and can travel any time. Why do you want to go to the same place for vacation all the time? It gets old after a couple of times. I'd probably buy a villa, rent it out and that way you have something that will increase your investment over time. I bought a Villa there a few years ago. The running costs are shocking. Taxes, taxes and more taxes. Don't buy a villa there if you are hoping to make money out of it. I don't regret buying ours, its much more cost effective in out situation as we use it 3 times a year. Do your homework first as the charges for buying can be very high too. If you do decide to buy etc, email me and I will give you more information on Realtors, Closing agents, Management Companies etc. di_ane1965@yahoo.co.uk |
