Time Shares versus Vacation Rentals = over paying for your vacation accommodation
We own mountain property in the state of South Carolina and were recently surprised by announced cut backs of time share oversight by the South Carolina Real Estate Commission in the form of staff and budget cuts. This is surprising indeed in light of South Carolina being the second largest state in the USA behind # 1 Florida in the time share industry. As a result of these cutbacks, consumers can now look at just one state employee to oversee fourteen developers and a whopping 130 separate resorts in the state of S.C., an open invitation for the time share marketers to take advantage of those individuals that still believe time shares are the best way to go as opposed to your garden variety vacation rental transaction. This premise is patently untrue according to our investigation as you can confirm below.
Here are a few compelling arguments for resort property investment opportunities in Florida versus time share purchases. The concept is the same whether you are renting or purchasing vacation property. And right across the river on Hilton Head Island is one potential investor’s experience with a high pressure time share salesman on island that engendered this well thought out analysis. Bottom line, it is always prudent to shop the goods and services one spends money on and the vacation rental/purchase experience is no different. We here at Savannah Getaways strongly recommend our many patrons shop our accommodation rates and ask questions to find out what kind of vacation experience is to be had while staying at one of our self catered accommodations in the district. And of course, we will always put you in touch with live individuals on request that have posted favorable comments in our kudos section.
