With so many amazing timeshare investment opportunities available in Mexico, many people are taking the plunge and carving out vacation time for themselves and their families. Don’t let the stress of daily life overwhelm you. Take a look at these tips so you can make the most of your timeshare purchase.
- Analyze Vacation History
A good way to approach your timeshare purchase is to first analyze your vacation history in the past. Do you generally go to the same place every year or do you like to mix up your travels to see new places and try different activities? If you are constantly searching for new adventures or experiences, a timeshare investment may not be right for you. However, you can look into a timeshare company that offers an exchange program with other timeshare companies or has a variety of resorts within their timeshare group. That will help give you the flexibility to see new places, while still planning ahead for your vacation time.
- View and Inspect Timeshare Unit in Person
Another tip when considering a timeshare purchase is to make sure you always view and inspect the particular unit you would be using before you pay any deposit or sign a contract. It is a smart move so you can avoid any disappointment or surprises when you vacation. Also, do you plan to have children and other family members come with you on your vacation? If so, make sure you discuss with them and confirm they are able to afford the travel costs to join you. If they are not, you could end up using the timeshare less than you anticipate.
- Budget and Down Payment
Budget is another topic to cover when you consider purchasing a timeshare. Do you have enough money set aside for the initial investment, or do you have to borrow money? Be aware that some banks will not lend you money for a timeshare investment, so it makes sense if you have enough money without having to secure a loan. Many timeshare companies will offer their own in-house financing, but usually at high interest rates so make sure to factor those amounts into the picture.
- Timeshare Grace Period Options
Lastly, ask if your timeshare company offers a grace period where you can change your mind and cancel after signing the contract. If so, that is a good sign that the product is high quality and there is confidence you will be happy with your investment. Another factor to consider is if your timeshare is part of an owner’s club or association. Similar to a HOA board at a condo, a timeshare owners club is a vessel for property owners to have a collective voice and opinions on any issues that may arise.
We hope these tips help you if you are in the market for a timeshare property.
