Hey everyone,

I’m considering a Marriott Vacation Club membership that includes a deed and title, making it more like a real estate investment rather than a standard timeshare. The total cost is $200K, and I’ve already put $20K down.
Wow. There are no limits to the false claims these developer salespeople make.

Bottom line for any newbie who might contemplate buying a timeshare: in virtually all cases, it only makes sense if you buy "resale" from someone who may very well have had their face ripped off by a developer salesperson. By taking advantage of their desperation to finally get out of their "in perpetuity" (because of the deed) maintenance fees, they might be willing to sell at a near zero, or at least very low, price.

You might then benefit by standing on their grave.

Cruel, but true.
