Hi! I've come to consult the experts because I've never owned a timeshare. I have the opportunity to have one transferred to me from a relatives estate because it is costing the trust money, and they just want to get rid of it. The resort is at Whiski Jack in Whistler Canada, and there are 2 timeshares available one at about 700-800 a year fees, and one about 900 a year fees. I probably would not visit whistler often but am interested in exchanging through RCI. I have been told it recently became compatible with one of the major exchanges. So far I don't have the name of the timeshare company or the exchange because I'm waiting on the paperwork.
A major concern is how much I may get charged additionally in assessments. The resort has had some major reconstruction in the few years and ongoing. I was told a couple years ago they received an assessment for around 2K and it said there may be more coming. Is there usually a cap in the original contract on how much can be charged in assessments per year? I don't want to be stuck in something that could charge me thousands at anytime!
I probably couldn't afford the yearly fees on both of the weeks so I'd probably choose one. Given this information would you take this or pass on it?
