Timeshare an Investment in Holidaying Future Not Financial Gain

A timeshare should be seen as an investment in future holiday opportunities, it has been said.

Lisa Ann Schreier, founder of Timeshare Insights in Clermont, Florida, told Bankrate.com that timeshare is a vacation alternative, not a business opportunity for consumers.

Judi Kozlowski, a broker with Re/Max Properties SW in Orlando, Florida, also spoke to the website, commenting that timeshare is an investment in people's time and family and is not for financial gain.

She said that just those who want to use the timeshare should get involved in the market.

Ms Kozlowski added, however, that if an investor can find a great deal in a high-demand timeshare then it should be considered.

The website also cited the words of Howard Nusbaum, president and chief executive officer of American Resort Development Association (ARDA), who advised people to buy timeshare in places where they love to go.

ARDA is based in Washington DC and represents the holiday ownership and resort development industries in the United States.
