The FTC's Timeshares and Vacation Plan's website offer many helpful tips before buying a timeshare, including: 1  Compare the costs of buying and maintaining a timeshare with renting a similar property. Perhaps rent a unit from a current owner first to make sure you like the complex.
Advantages: 1  No upgrade fees. A previous owner already paid that fee to convert their timeshare to points, so you don't have to pay that. 2  Better cost per point. You can often buy a timeshare already in RCI points for less than the conversion cost, which makes it a more economical way to get those points. 3  Two timeshares.
