Timeshares are economical. Instead of buying a property and only using it for a couple of weeks out of the year (while paying for it 52 weeks of year) you only pay for time that you actually use it. A timeshare takes care of itself. You don’t have to deal with the upkeep of the property as you pay annual maintenance fees that take care of that. Also someone always has an eye on your property if anything goes wrong which is not always true if you own a cottage or a similar vacation property.

A time share is a guaranteed vacation. If you are bad at organizing your vacation days then a timeshare is a vacation destination that is guaranteed to be there one week a year. This can make it easier for you to save for and make plans for your annual vacation. A timeshare suits large families. If you have a large family then you will suffer less financial and mental stress by simply housing them in a timeshare. You do not have to worry about booking hotels or extra rooms. Most timeshares also have kitchens so you can save on food bills and not have to eat out all of the time.

You can rent it out for a profit. Many individuals make money by renting out their timeshares if they are not able to make their time slot. Some rent out extra times slots and then profit by renting them out to others instead. Many timeshares are also auctioned off on places like ebay. You can exchange your timeshare for another. Most timeshares have an exchange program that will allow you to trade your timeshare with another timeshare owner’s unit of time. This allows you to experience different exotic locations and not be stuck in just visiting your time share every year.

Timeshares have high maintenance fees. Many people who buy a time share forget to figure in the cost of the maintenance fees for the place. Timeshares can be bad investments. If you invest in a timeshare that is hit by a hurricane then of course it will depreciate in value. Most retail (new) timeshares depreciate in value by thousands of dollars the minute you buy them as a lot of what is factored in their price are inflationary dollars such as taxes, closing fees and price of agent’s fees. Your vacation schedule is not flexible. If you do not have a popular time of year or location then you may not be able to exchange your timeshare and be stuck having to visit it every year.
