Hi All
Another newbie to the great TUG forums. I have been hovering & reading for the last few days trying to digest as much info as possible.
Recently visited the Marriott Marbella Beach Resort in Spain as part of a preview break. I'd previously had a look around the Marriott Paris resort & had been impressed.
I spoke to the sales reps & was told them I was looking for a timeshare that I was not necessarily going to visit regularly but I could easily rent to cover costs or swop for other Marriott Resorts. They suggested the new Lakeshore Reserve complex because it is a new 6 star style development etc.
It sounded good & was offered one of the 2 bed Lock-Off apartments (not deluxe) for $23700.
I am based in the UK, have 2 small children (5 & 7). We will probably visit Orlando at least once in the next 5 years but would prefer to use this to have other holidays around the world.
Given this is a new development so a few unknowns but is still in Orlando - which is flooded with timeshare (I was unaware of the extent until I read this forum), are my assumptions for purchasing this unit sound ?:
1. Easy to let out for a decent rent if I pick my week sufficiently in advance. Ideally looking to cover the yearly fees & make some on top to help pay for holidays.
2. Would be easy to split the lock-offs to partly rent & deposit the other half with II.
The other option would be to rescind (which I have seen lots of recommendations for people who have recently purchased Lakeshore) & buy something maybe resale. The question then here is what would people suggest that wiould give me good flexibility to rent/swop, another Marriott US/European location.
Thanks for everything Guys/Girls
