MYTH
If I buy a deeded timeshare week in a good location, it will appreciate in value and I when I sell my week; I will have made a profit.

REALITY
Timeshare ownership is not a good real estate investment. Very few people ever make money when they sell their timeshare interest. Timeshare ownership is a product that should be purchased for the use and enjoyment you'll get from it. If you bought a timeshare week for $10,000, used it for 20 years, then sold it for $7,000, your net cost (cost based on purchase price only) would be just $3,000 for twenty, seven day vacations or $150 per weekly vacation (cost based on purchase price only). That's not too shabby considering you'll be staying in condominium style accommodations instead of a tiny hotel room.

MYTH
If I buy, I'll have to return to the same resort at the same time every year for the rest of my life.

REALITY
Timeshare ownership was designed to give owners more choices and flexibility in their vacations. You're never locked in to a fixed time unless you want to be. Timeshare ownership offers a truly flexible way to travel the world.

MYTH
I can expect a high-pressure sales presentation and tour.

REALITY
Professionally managed timeshare resorts will not allow their sales personnel to mistreat you or pressure you into doing anything you don't want to do. That kind of behavior is not good for anyone and is not accepted by ARDA, the industry association. In addition, vacation ownership is a highly regulated industry that is committed to consumer protection measures. Expect to enjoy your presentation and tour. It will be both professional and informative.
