The disadvantages are many while the advantages only favor those who originally sell them in my opinion.

The only advantage that I see is for the conman who is selling them.

Disadvantage is you own it!
Advantage to the developer who collected several times the value of the property!

Time shares require some research and time. Not bought at a whim over a free dinner for going to check one out. If bought cash, and if you use it all the time, it can be good for the traveler. It is rare they ever increase in value. The down side are yearly fees can increase greatly, some times more than if you just rented there

It is not an investment most probably....in that it won't appreciate and on the flip side of that...you can buy "distressed" units where people stopped paying fees....at a good rate and if it is somewhere popular you can go there annually or find that is is good one to trade. You want flexibility not a specific week and a good location and association for your home unit.

I know of NO advantages unless you are the OWNER that started the time share and found others to pay...3-6 times the real estate value and then pay fees to maintain higher than it would cost to rent it if you didn't "own" it lol

I believe this question is different for each. It requires a subjective answer to one's needs.

One obvious one that comes to my mind is owning with people we do not know or who will no disclose their identity.
