Tips On Buying A Timeshare

Do not consider timeshares a financial investment. They are a method for buying future vacations.

Never purchase a timeshare without having a lawyer review the contract.

Resist high-pressure sales tactics and free gifts that entice you to sign on the spot.

Never purchase a timeshare without first visiting the property. Look for signs of good property management.

Make sure the timeshare is associated with an exchange company if you want to trade in your timeshare.

Make sure the time-share will meet your needs 10 or 20 years down the road as the vacation needs of your family evolve.

Understand that timeshare maintenance fees may increase over time.
