How do I go about getting a timeshare?

I'm interested in getting a timeshare in the heart of the carolinas. Does anyone know how to go about doing this?

1. I have a timeshare in Myrtle Beach. It's amazing. I can get you a huge discount. I have it through a major hotel company.
2. OMG. You have to listen to me. Don't do it. I know it seems like a good idea now, but if you ever want to sell it you will not be able to. I know this because I used to work for a company that bought timeshares from people who had been trying to sell them for years and had no hope left. Then the company bought them at a very small fraction of the appraised market value. The owners were happy to sell for anything at that point because they knew that they weren't going to get any better offers. Timeshares are a scam from start to finish. Do yourself a favor and just go to a hotel.
3. I would recommend buying timeshare points that can be used at a number of resorts throughout the U.S. and the world, rather than a fixed-week interest in a specific property. I own a substantial number of points with this entity, and would recommend it to people that are serious about the concept. https://www.fairfieldresorts.com/ffr/index.do
4. Do some research on this first - not here, real research - because time shares are notoriously poor investments.
5. Timeshares are for suckers. Who would want to buy a week vacation that they have to pay for all year. And if you get tired of the place, they are impossible to sell.
6. Listen to KRK and the others who are against it. Time shares are the biggest rip-off in modern real estate! You might as well take the money and flush it down the toilet for all the value it will bring. I made that mistake once and will never, ever do it again! It's much better, easier and way more convenient to just find places where you want to go and rent a house or just stay at a hotel. I have not heard one honest statement about time shares that was positive. Be careful and be smart
7. This system makes vacation home ownership possible for many people who cannot afford a second home or who otherwise would not be able to enjoy such resort facilities. It is important to remember that purchasing timeshare should never be viewed as a financial investment with the expectation of gaining a profit in either reselling it or renting it to someone else. Timeshare is an investment in lifestyle, in future holidays, in family time together, and when viewed that way it can be a good investment indeed. BUYING A TIMESHARE Time-sharing can be an affordable way to own a vacation home. Before you buy, you should be able to answer YES to all these questions: * Are you POSITIVE you want to spend ALL your vacations there? *Have you visited the facility? *Are you satisfied with its quality, with the stability of the management, and with the terms of the contract? *Have you talked to some long-time owners in this time-share facility? *Can you afford both the facility and the round trip travel costs each year? DO NOT BUY IF: * You want to rent out the facility. * You plan on reselling it. * You plan on exchanging vacation sites frequently I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMNED YOU TO CONTACT MY SOURCE, THEY ARE OWNERS TAKING CARE OF EACHOTHER.
8. The things to consider when buying a timeshare are: How many properties are availabe in that particular system of timeshare resorts, maintenance and yearly dues. Maintenance deoends on whether your time is yearly or every other year. Dues are due yearly. Now, for everyone that said they are a poor investment (financially) yes they are. Are they a good overall investment? Yes. Why? Consider how much you pay for a nice hotel and what you get, 200-300 by a beach per day. That comes out to roughly 1400-2100 a week. The average maintenance cost on a timeshare is $700-1000 a year. Are you saving? Yes. Do you get a standard crappy room? No. When you own a timeshare you get a 1-2-3 bedroom suite with a full kitchen. It's incredibly cost effective. The type of timeshare you want is one that has flexibility whereby you can transfer timeshare points (resorts to the hotels guest loyalty program, and have a few free nights in a major metropolis if desired. I have mine through hilton hotels. Your home resort should be the cheapest location so your maintenance fees will be cheaper. Then if you wat to use other locations, you can just pay the $25-$50 fee. I've had mine for years. I love it. I estimate I've saved thousands of dollars on vacation costs and I have been to more places because of that. The website below is for the hilton timeshare website. They are also affiliated with RCI resorts so you have lots and lots of options. Happy travels!
