Re: Is now a good time to buy MVC timeshare? (by Den):

No, I suggest you rent a MVC timeshare using Redweek for a couple of years and test out your real interest in timeshare. Renting is the safest and most cost effective way to timeshare vacations.

Owners of units rented out pay the annual maintenance fees and then rent out for around 1.5 to 2.0 times the maintenance fees. Their initial timeshare cost is never recovered and they may even pay someone to rid themselves of the timeshare.

Don't get sucked into purchasing points as the program has about double the annual maintenance fees (for the same use) and the initial outlay is outrageous (and an immediate write-off).

I suggest you stay away from resort presentations as they are very high pressure and you will buy the dream only to regret it later. Be ready to rescind and know how to do this.

Finally, you can have the timeshare experience on your terms, at a substantially lower cost, and with no "forever" commitment to timeshare fees.
