 Fees may be required even when no longer using the timeshare. One serious drawback to purchasing a timeshare resale is the risk of dealing with fraudulent sellers. That's why it's recommended to deal only with known sellers or a reputable broker or company before making any purchase. Acquaint yourself with common scams. If the property sounds too good to be true, beware. In addition, timeshares don't generate income or grow in value. Therefore, I'm out.
