How Do Timeshares Work?

Let's say you are on spring break in Mexico and stay at this fantastic resort. While there with your friends you think it would be great to pool your money and each go in on buying a condo or house. Then, you each will be able to use it a certain time of the year. In this scenario, the ownership is shared and the percentage you paid is the percentage of ownership you will have.

A timeshare is a similar concept, but with key differences. First of all, you are not going in on the purchase with people you know. There is a resort or management company that brokers the deal and finds all the buyers.

Additionally, you are just paying for a percentage of the value of the property. You also have to pay maintenance fees to the people who maintain the property. Additionally, it took a lot of money for the advertisers to find a buyer so the price will be inflated for that as well.

This is why timeshares should not be considered a real estate investment. The prices are extremely inflated and selling timeshares is not a good way to make a profit.

There are other types of timeshares. Sometimes you are not actually buying ownership in a property but are just paying for a right to use. This is no different than renting a condo for a week, except you pre-pay for many years. The benefit of this is you can sometimes sell your week to someone else if you are not able to go on vacation that year.

Selling timeshares can be very difficult. So you should buy a timeshare with the intent of using it and not making a profit off of it. You must calculate how much it would cost you to go on vacation in that location and compare to the cost of the timeshare. This is how you can calculate the value of the timeshare.
