About Timeshare Register
What is a timeshare resale property?
There are two types of people that own timeshare. People that buy timeshare because it makes sense to their family and their vacation plans, year after year. Then there are the other owners that were sold a timeshare by a high pressure sales person at the resort. They were pulled into a timeshare presentation on a pair of free attraction tickets and then pressured into making a decision to buy a timeshare. After the owners are locked into a contract for decades, they realize that the timeshare that they purchased is out of their budget and they cannot afford to use the timeshare anymore. The resorts are always getting the money that owners paid, so they do not care if the timeshare unit is used or if it stays empty and this is why the resorts maintain a pristine image and vacation destination.
So now that you know this, how can you benefit from it?
The owners that are unhappy are desperate to sell their units. There are literally MILLIONS of properties that are for sale or for rent and the prices are up to 90% off the resort prices. It gives you the potential buyer, all of the negotiating power because the current owners will do almost anything to get rid of their burden!
So what are the benefits of renting a timeshare resale property?
If you are the average family that goes on vacation, then you might spend $500 a night to visit a place like Orlando, if you stay in a hotel. The price would be $2500 to stay in a mediocre hotel with a room for you and a room for your family. If you decide to rent a timeshare property, the weekly price will be around $1500 or less for a 5-star resort. You will gain all amenities that each owner maintains and all the perks such as discounts to attractions, social events, and transportation to and from area locations.
Why would you buy a timeshare on the resale market?
It just makes financial sense!
For example: A timeshare owner purchases a Westgate Property in Orlando for $35,000 4 years ago. They have already made their payments but are so eager to get rid of the property that they list it for sale for $15,900 on TimeshareRegister.com. Realistically, you can offer the owner $12,000 (or less) and start a negotiation process. The current owner is greatly motivated to sell the property and you will be the beneficiary of all of the benefits of a 5-star resort for a 2-star resort price.
What some of our buyers do is look for comparable properties in areas where the property may be the same size but MUCH cheaper. By purchasing a property in another area, it gives you access _to all the properties_ that the exchange company offers for your resort. You can actually wind up getting a property cheaper than you want and exchange every year to different destinations! You can exchange to locations across the globe including: Disney, Hawaii, Mexico, Europe, the Caribbean, and thousands more destinations!
Another good point is that the current owners were sold on the fact the the timeshare would APPRECIATE like a home, but in these times, it depreciates in value. When you purchase at 70% off the current market rate, you can use the property for 5 years and then sell at the current market rate and even make money on the property. You will have the best property at the cheapest price. Now that you know start your search today!
