I can think of one Marriott destination at the shore that would make a wonderful time share, a beautiful retreat that could be worth the investment especially for frequent shore visitors and people who don’t like to maintain a beach cottage.

Your additional points are certainly noteworthy and should be taken into consideration by anyone considering this option. On the other hand, there could be a small group of timeshares out there that prove beneficial to the buyer. Not so much from an investment point of view, but for their convenience. For some folks, you cannot put a price on convenience. TT — I think by the way I titled the article and by the points shared, I made a strong argument for avoiding this type of purchase.

While their prices may be low (actually they are always low on the secondary market) this is what is happening. The economic crisis has made the default rates on timeshares rise - when this happens, there are less people paying the maintenance fees which means that the timeshare resort must raise fees for owners. In addition, the current credit crisis has dried up loans and many timeshares have projects not complete. They are raising fees at their other timeshare units to try and keep their other projects afloat. It's an no win situation either way -- especially when you can rent a timeshare for less than owning one (or as your friends did, have someone let them use it for free) You would be wrong to suggest this is a good time to get timeshares.
