Are Timeshares A Good Investments?

I have a couple clients that actually like timeshares, but these clients are few and far between. I tell my clients if you have plenty of money and lots of vacation time and like to go to the same place year in year out, timeshares probably are not a bad investment. However, the key problem with timeshares are they are expensive, they have annual carrying costs that are increasing, and they are extremely difficult to sell. Remember if you have a timeshare, you still have to fly there and provide all of your food and entertainment cost. There are a few positive aspects of timeshares, but the many problems far outweigh those positive aspects. Never invest in anything that eats or needs repairs.
