There is no such thing as a timeshare with “$0 maintenance fees”. Why / how would you ever somehow believe otherwise?

One reason why people are sometimes willing to give away their timeshare for free is to ESCAPE those mandatory maintenance fees, which ALWAYS exist (and which also generally tend to increase by at least 5% every year). Maintenance fees (...not magic, not divine intervention) are what support the day to day operating costs (utilities, insurance, groundskeeping, staffing, building and appliance and A/C repairs, pool maintenance) and other maintenance costs at any and every timeshare property in existence. There is no "free lunch" in timeshare ownership, plainly and simply stated.
