I am so glad this wealth of information is here! I really like the idea of a timeshare, but didn't do my due diligence before flying in blind, just assuming I could say no and be done. Now I have been looking at these forums and have a better idea of what will work! I'm sure I'll have more questions as time goes on!
Take your time!
Research and read (...maybe for weeks or months, not just for an hour or so; too much info to absorb in so little time).
Planet Timeshare has many different systems, numerous "chains" (and many independent non-"chain" resorts), points systems, reservation policies, etc. --- and no two are exactly alike. You might give ample thought to whether you want a "fixed" week at a single property, or maybe a "floating" week with different time window options, or maybe a "points only" system offering more property options (and the option for less than full week stays). Learn about annual maintenance fee costs at whatever places / systems you consider --- and assume that they will increase by a minimum of 4-5% every year, almost guaranteed. Know too that buying is easy, selling later is not --- and maintenance fees are forever.
Lots to learn, but folks here will always help to answer any specific questions you might present once you have established a bit of a knowledge base through some reading and research. There is probably several centuries worth of collective knowledge and experience represented here, so don't hesitate to tap into it. At the very least, people here can help you to avoid some of the many mistakes that we've
already made ourselves. Good luck.
