advice on buying first timeshare

[BocaBum99 Super Moderator Find all posts View Profile Close BocaBum99]

Remember that you may be stuck with only going to the place you buy and it's forever. Buy where you want to go to every year. Your children may also be stuck going there forever after you die by rules of the contract. Timeshares are a lot like nail fungus. They're hard to get rid of.

If this is your experience, then you need to hang around this board and learn the techniques required to sell your timeshare quickly.

I never buy a timeshare expecting to keep it longer than one year. Once you learn how to sell a timeshare, you can buy and sell and adjust your portfolio as often as you like. If you do it right, you can travel for free this way. The key is learning how to sell a timeshare quickly. You do that by learning which timeshares are marketable and where they are sold. Then, just learning how to write an agreement, verify an ownership and work with a closing company is all you really need to flip timeshares like pancakes.

Hi folks,
I am a newbie here and I hope you will forgive me if this isn't the proper place for this question. I have heard a lot about buying resale, unfortunately a couple of years too late for us, but when you buy resale do you also get the housekeeping credits?
Thanks,

For Wyndham, yes, you do get the corresponding HK credits. And you also get free transactions if you pass next 77k (each 77k gives you one free transaction)
