Building A Timeshare Portfolio - Pt. 2

Buy Resorts You Love
Never overlook resorts you've exchanged for and loved.  These are resorts you know and know what to expect.  Ask friends who also timeshare which resorts they like the most. 

Visit Resorts
If you're staying at Westgate Vacation Villas, you are close to probably 50 timeshares.  Anytime you are traveling to a new destination, why not visit a few resorts.  If you do it at the right time you might find resort personnel willing and able to give you some inside scoop about their resort, both positive and negative facts can affect your decision, remember?

Use Bonus Weeks And Escapes
RCI, Interval International, Fairfield and many other resort organizations have Bonus, Escape or similar last minute weeks you can book for a reduced fee.  Take advantage of these weeks to explore new areas.  A week used in the off season at many resorts can let you explore things without the season level crowds. 

Banked Weeks
I just finalized a reservation to go to Lake Havasu, Arizona.  I had a banked week with Interval International and they had a week available for only a $121.00 exchange fee.  One week in a 5 Star resort for only $121.00.  Rooms rent for more than that per night.  I'm going to explore the whole area, take some pictures of the different resorts, and see what I can of the local sites.  That way I'll know first hand if I ever want to own a timeshare in Lake Havasu.

Set A Budget
Even if it's only a guideline, try to set some budgetary standards for your purchases.  If you decide you want a Week 13 at Westgate Vacation Villas and your maximum price is $4,000, you should be able to buy a unit for that.  But, Week 13 is a very active Spring Break Week, so this is a popular week with families and might cost you more.  Knowing your budget will allow you to know if it's right for you when you see a resort advertised or presented to you.  Timesharing can give you numerous vacations in excellent resorts while allowing you to plan up front for your costs. 

Build Your Portfolio At Your Budget And Pace
Just because you want a new timeshare doesn't mean you have to buy it this week. Buy what is right for you and your family. 

More Information
Hopefully this gives you some useful information.  Building your timeshare portfolio can be great fun for the entire family.  You can spends hours and days researching the numerous excellent resorts available, or you might already know the ones you want and can tell your reseller what you would like to buy.  Either way, we hope this has helped.  Feel free to email us specific questions.
