Timeshare: Wait Till You See This!
Daniel Wright
You may have asked yourself the question: "Is it financially realistic (or realistic at all) to buy a timeshare (http://www.buy-timeshare-online.com/)? "Yes" and "No" can both be the answer to this question, as it depends on who is making the purchase and what the intention of the purchase is.
One of the most traditional answers could be that you own it, but when you rent something you don't own it. The timeshare (http://www.buy-timeshare-online.com/US/Florida) industry has grown by leaps and bounds since its inception in this country and many notions that people had earlier have been clarified. Large hotels and resorts are into timeshare business now. It is estimated to be a five billion dollar a year industry worldwide and approximately two million Americans have timeshares. You might be wondering what lured so many people in America alone to timeshares. Here are some reasons...
Consider a hotel: You pay the rent for staying in a hotel for a week. Suppose it is $900. If you consider a period of 30 years, multiply the cost of living in a hotel for 30 years with $900. It will be $27,000. You spend that much amount and only get a suite with only a bathroom. Now consider this, if you buy a timeshare for $10,000 which has a maintenance fee of $450 annually. The cost for 30 years will be $10,000 plus 450 multiplied by 30. The answer will be $23,500 which is $3,500 less than renting a hotel suite. But here is the interesting fact. You still get to own your time share property which will earn some money if not the original price. So your actual expenditure on your vacation will be far less than renting a hotel suite. Plus, who can ignore the comfort of a home in a timeshare property? A typical timeshare unit has two or three bedrooms, more than one bathroom, a kitchen, a laundry room and a pool and let's not forget all the resort facilities.
Is it making sense now? It also saves you from the hassle of planning your vacation each year because you know when you have to go in turn, offering you a guaranteed vacation every year.
A timeshare is like money lying safely in your bank. You can sell it whenever you want. Not only that, but if you buy a deeded plan, the timeshare gets inherited to your heirs also.
Consider being the owner of a timeshare versus a vacation home. With a timeshare, you don't need to be responsible for repairs, upkeep, and maintenance of the property. You can leave it all to the management company, paying a small fee that is well worth saving yourself the hassle of taking care of it all. A timeshare still feels like your very own home when you stay there; but living there is as carefree as staying in a hotel!
In addition to these benefits, timeshare companies offer many discounts like bonus weeks, discounts on airfare, car rentals, attraction tickets, restaurants and more.
