For those in the know, there are many different ways to enjoy yourself on vacation without breaking the bank — some people go camping in an area around the city. Some people just enjoy touring their city. A great strategy that really gets you the most bang for your buck is participating in a timeshare. Timeshares are a property that you share as a vacation home with other people. This means that you have partial ownership of the property. With this partial ownership, you can use the property whenever you like during the time designated for you. This is a norm with condominium units and resorts. Getting a timeshare is easy, like signing a lease but after you have enjoyed yourself and are ready to relinquish ownership of the property, then what? What would be a very best Timeshare Exit Strategy?

There are a number of steps or best practices that we can go into in order to make the transition out of the timeshare. The first suggestion would be to see how much your property is being appraised for and exactly how much you can get. Depending on your method, there are ways that you can leave the deal and not lose slowly on your vacation investment capital. One way that would be beneficial would be for you to rent out your time to someone else so that they can cover your maintenance fees and other fees associated with you staying in the timeshare. Booking for a timeshare is extremely difficult for the average person, so this may be a stretch for most but by all means, is something worth looking into. The best thing about this option is, you stand to earn money or other points or incentives while at the same time, get the burden of the thousand-dollar annual maintenance fee off of your hands.

If this option does not suit you, try contacting the resort and asking them if they will take it back or initiate a deed buyback and have them give you as much as they can for the property. A lot of times, once you are in a timeshare, it is complicated to get out of it. So, asking your resort to take it back will not hurt because if they say no, you will be in the same boat. Most people tend to give it away if they are unable to fulfill their end or are tired of paying the hefty fees that are associated with the ownership of a timeshare.

Today there are nearly 10 million timeshare owners in the US, and almost three-quarters of them are in lifetime contracts that can inevitably be passed on to their next of kin because of the way the agreement was structured. It is essential to read the fine print and perhaps consult with a real estate attorney so that they may help you with your available options for exiting the agreement.
