Hi Y'all!
Just found this forum and also led me to rescind my first timeshare purchase in Breckenridge, CO Almost cost me 62k for a one bedroom!
So looking at resale or just renting for now.
1) Is there a vacation destination you wish to visit most of the time or on a regular basis? if so where?
Family of 4 have been skiing whenever school is off (so pretty much all peak season...), all in Colorado, but would consider other popular ski in/out TS as well.
But I think as we get older and kids out of school, we might transition to more beachfront style resort.
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?
Yes. Preferably multi-week also depending on price, again all peak season since kids are in school.
3) What are your 5 top trade destinations?
Hawaii, Caribbean, Europe?, anything beachfront...
4) How many people do you usually travel with - total, including yourself?
Me, wife, and two boys
5) Can you travel any time, or are you locked into the school schedule?
Lock into school schedule, spring break is little flexible as it varies by states..
6) Can you make firm plans 12 or more mos. in advance?
Yes
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?
I think 3.5 star or above. We understand the human factor as well....
9) How much can you afford to spend upfront, without financing?
Hard to say but always looking for good deal. e.g. We bought and rescind a Breckenridge grand 8 one bedroom summer value for 62k, with a bunch of bonus and planning to trade into ski season...thinking we got an pretty good 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?
1000 per year? Is that a reasonable expectation.
11) Are you a detail oriented planner?
Yes
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. And maybe renting is better for my case? I also read that even if original owner sell the timeshare they are still on the hook for maintenance fee if buyer won't pay it?
Thank! Looking to learn much more from this forum.
