It seems sketchy as hell.
They sell an apartment, that apartment in resort. The price is about typical normal apartment.
They said that I own that apartment, and can visit the resort few days a year, enjoying staying at that apartment. Just book your day and they handled the rest. I still not fully wrapped my head about this concept yet, but why not stay there forever but “book” ?
My aunt said this seems good deal. But I feel something fishy.
Is it a good investment compared to normal apartment in residence building ?
Can someone tell me more details on this type of real estate?
Is owning timeshare similar to owning stock in vacation/hotel company? Can I get profit out of it ?
usually not, you have to be the person who stays there, you can’t sublet. And you still have to pay your percentage weather you use your time or not.
No. You will not profit. You will have a very difficult time getting out of it and lose money.
Timeshares are a scam. They often do “earn a free night” presentations for people who don’t know any better.
You will 100% not profit from a timeshare.
