Summary
Based on the responses it seems that if time is flexible that it makes better economic sense to rent weeks and hold on to your capital. Timeshares are not appreciating in value. If one wants a time in prime season like say Xmas week, New Year or spring break then you have a better chance of reserving by buying. Also if one is a trader and becomes expert at it you can trade prime weeks for multiple bonus weeks or off season weeks making the purchase more economical. It would thus make more sense to just rent whenever we are ready and then if we fixate on a location or a time that requires us to buy we should look for the best resale value. Any ourchase over $5000.00 would result in a financial loss. If we can buy a resale at a time that is suitable in a location that is attractive and has good trade value then it might make some sense to buy. Still that location might be just as easy to rent at a price equal to or slightly more than the management fee. Right? Are there any exceptions? I would think that Disney Vacation Club might be one. Any others?
