New here!
[I tried posting this, but got an error, so hopefully this doesn't post twice!]
Hello everyone! I am new here, and am hoping to get more insight on timeshare stuff. I purchased a timeshare with Grand Pacific Palisades in 2001 with my boyfriend, and we purchased odd years. Since then, I got laid off in 2002, found a job that pays less but am still keeping up with payments. My boyfriend is paying the maintenance fees, but has recently purchased a new home and we may not be able to continue paying for this.
But I'm hoping to be able to keep the timeshare and maybe rent out our weeks that we can't use, then use that money to pay for the fees?? Other options that I'm thinking of is working with my siblings (I have 6) so they can use it on their vacations. But I don't know exactly how all this works.
We have 2 weeks banked with RCI and it's tough to plan ahead. When we do decide to take a vacation, it's usually within a few months and there are no resorts available in the area we want to go to. We tried exchanging for a cruise this summer, but was warned against doing so by cruisecritic members, and we ended up saving money by not doing the exchange.
Anyway, I'm hoping to get a lot of info from experienced t/s'ers like you and in the end, if we decide that selling is the best option for us, then hopefully we can do it without losing out on a lot.
