Re: Timeshares Can Make Cents (by NoOneYouKnow):

To update this, for accuracy, the maintenance fee this year is $530. We put our Week 1 in the Owners Rental Pool and received a check for $642. So, the resort got our annual fee, $530, and another $220 rental commission. We got $112 more back than we paid for the year.

And, we use the resort two or three times a week, almost every week.

If an owner's account goes delinquent, the resort takes it back through non-judicial foreclosure, rents it out (for more than an annual fee), offers it to owners for $530, and offers it for sale. As strange as it sounds, delinquent accounts are profitable (if that is the right word).

So, in this day and age, of high-dollar, corporate-owned-and-controlled, timeshares, there are still some clunky old ones that make sense.
