About travel VISA and TS (need an expert please)

My best friend is from Albania working and living in Athens Greece
For a lot of countries he need a VISA to travel and sometimes is very diffucult to get
He found out that he likes very much timeshare and he's planning to buy a property in USA (Florida first choice)
Do you think that if he's going to buy 2 Red weeks that he's planning will be easier to visit the states?
Will be a must to have a property?
How it works?
Does anyone expert knows how it works that stuff
Normally if you have a house,appartment or something else in your name in another country it's something that belongs to you and of course you can go and stay for long or short time
Is it the same with timeshare owners or it will be stupid to buy something in US having problems to get a visa to visit his place
If someone knows or can help I would be veryhappy to hear from you
Thank you once more for reading my message

I really don't think that owning a timeshare will (a) make it any easier for any foreign national to enter the United States and (b) be considered as "owning property" in the way owning a house or apartment outright would be.
Timeshare ownership only provides the owner with the right to occupy for 1 week.
Albania is not covered by the Visa Waiver Program see here so a visa will be necessary before travelling.
What t/s ownership will show is that the traveller has a place to stay.
