New to timesharing - I took a tour at Wyndham last week in Branson MO and was really tempted at what they had to offer. Luckily I didn't bite and have been researching on this site ever since - a lot a great information on this site but it's a little overwhelming. I'm intrigued by timeshares now but wondering if ownership is best or if renting will do for my family.
1) Is there a vacation destination you wish to visit most of the time or on a regular basis? if so where?
Branson, MO
2) Do you want to visit your home resort at least half the time, or do you want to trade more than half the time?
Probably at Branson most of the time, but would like the option to go to other locations as kids get older.
3) What are your 5 top trade destinations?
Colorado (anywhere in the mountains), Smokey Mountains, Phoenix, DC, and Anywhere with a beach.
4) How many people do you usually travel with?
Family of 6 (4 young children)
5) Can you travel any time, or are you locked into the school schedule?
Any time. We homeschool our children and can literally travel whenever.
6) Can you make firm plans 12 or more mos. in advance?
Yes, but we like to make plans within a month or 2 typically.
7) Can you vacation for a full week at a time?
Yes.
8) What level of accommodations do you prefer on a scale of 1 to 5 stars?
We're not picky - prefer to not stay at 1-2 star places but willing to if the price is right.
9) How much can you afford to spend upfront, without financing?
Willing to spend $5-$10K for the right deal.
10) How much can you afford to spend every year for a maintenance fee that will come due right after Christmas, and increase each year?
I'm looking for something with little to no maintenance fees if possible. I love the idea of just getting last minute deals on RCI but not sure that's possible without owning something.
11) Are you a detail oriented planner?
Very much so.
12) Do you understand that once you buy a timeshare, it may be very difficult to sell or give away, and you are responsible for all fees, until you do?
Yes!
