Sell My Timeshare NOW CEO Jason Tremblay debunked three myths about timeshares in one of the recent posts in the Timeshare Authority Blog.

The three myths are “Timeshare is a financial investment,” “Timeshare is worthless on the resale market,” and “If a company charges you to advertise your timeshare resale, the company is unethical.” These said myths have been in existence since no one can actually remember and it is such a wonder how these said myths still exist though there have been a number of efforts to debunk such beliefs.

To make things a little clearer, let us look at the first myth he mentioned. It says that timeshare is a financial investment. This is mostly used by timeshare agents to encourage people who are interested to buy timeshares or even those who are not interested. Apparently, the said line is erroneously used. Timeshare is not an investment wherein one can earn from it in the future. It is instead an investment in terms of the health benefits that vacationing can give as well as an investment in terms of being able to cut down on the preparation efforts for a one week or more vacation.

It clearly shows that words can be easily twisted to entice people on certain thoughts. Surely, timeshare cannot be an investment when you cannot always be certain that your personal home is an investment. These facts should lead more people to decide whether to buy a timeshare or not or to keep a timeshare or resell the timeshare instead.
