Would Buying a Timeshare in a Tropical Area Where Property Value Is Growing or Stable Be a Good Investment?

I’d imagine that it would save me money on vacation expenses in the longrun, but could it get me any other return?

    I read an article online a few months ago. It said that values of timeshares have historically gone down so they make crappy investments. Take a look at some of the online timeshare exchange sites and you will see this. The only real gain is a reduced vacation cost. If you will actually use it, I say definitely consider a TS but not as an investment.

    time shares are always a horrible "investment". In fact they are not an investment at all. If you want a place to stay for a week or two per year (or whatever the arrangement) then go ahead and buy in but don’t delude yourself into thinking it is a good investment. You’d be better off buying orange fields in alaska.
