Fiesta Americana - No Penalty Deed back??

I have a Fiesta Americana RTU that I want to sell, but realistically it isn’t worth anything. I just saw this in my purchase agreement.

Am I crazy or does the Security Interest paragraph in the attachment say I can walk away from this timeshare without penalty simply by not paying the maintenance fee? It’s paid off.

I’m not a fan of defaulting on something so that it might hurt my credit, but this doesn’t look like that to me.

Anyone with first hand experience?

probably wouldnt hurt to reach out to them and ask about just ending the ownership!

unfortunately even if someone had an experience with it in the past it wouldnt guarantee youd have the same luck now!

You can transfer your FAVC to another user; there could be someone interested. I received an FAVC many years ago and still use it.

How many points per year do you have? I could be interested.

I was working on the ad when I saw that paragraph.

its a 40 year membership at 1600 points for a Gold season Studio Unit at Los Cabos that expires July 2042. I still have all the points for this year and the MF of $722 is paid for this year. It’s yours for the closing costs and the $100 transfer fees.

Are there closing costs for an RTU? Don’t really need a title company. Or do you?

What would a title company do when selling/giving away an RTU since there isn’t a title/deed? Is one required? Is it still a good idea? What has anyone done in the past?
