A specific property that is shared between a number of unrelated owners is called a timeshare.
A specific property that is shared between a number of unrelated owners is called a timeshare. At present, most timeshare rentals are resort condominiums. However, with the continuing development of the timeshare industry, more options are introduced in the market, like a hotel or even a cruise timeshare.



The purchase of a timeshare allows the various owners the opportunity to spend a set amount of time each year on the property. Depending on the nature of the purchase agreement, it can be one where the dates are set or one where reservations must be made. In many larger companies, it is also possible to decide on more than one location, if the ownership and the timeshare company have properties in multiple destinations.



More often than not, timeshare properties are situated in warm states like Florida or in cold weather places near ski resorts. In fact, indoor and outdoor pools (or ski slopes) have become a common feature of many timeshare properties at present. Other facilities also include fully-furnished one to three bedrooms, multiple bathrooms, a kitchen and a living room.



Oftentimes, timeshares are sold (or leased) for one week. However, buying a timeshare can be a tad more expensive than usual if you opt to purchase a timeshare during peak season like summer months, as opposed to less crowded time of the year.



In addition to season, timeshare costs are also subject to the demand for a specific location. A color coded chart showing what time of the year the timeshares are more expensive is given to potential buyers. Those that are colored with red are the vacation rentals that are more expensive.



Similar to other forms of real estate property, timeshares can be passed on to children as a form of inheritance. It can become an investment or a luxury, since it can be used for a nice vacation or can be rented out when it isn’t going to be used, to prevent wasting the timeslots. These properties can also be traded or exchanged with others of its type.



But how and where to buy a timeshare? If you wish to, you can make a purchase using a financing agreement. Most people would buy from the resale market through cash transactions. Either way, some things need to be taken into consideration such as maintenance and management charges. These fees, and they vary all the time, must be secured before finalizing a deal.



There are a number of affordable choices for those that want to dig into the timeshare industry. The best deal usually comes with a fixed unit that can only be used for a set period annually. The ownership of the property belongs to the owner using it during a given week. Another common choice is for property to be leased to the owners for a given period, to be used at any time during the lease coverage.
