Solving the maintenance budget problem!


Elaine and I did not like the idea that the maintenance fees came due at the end of the year every year because it was so close to the holiday spending for Christmas and New Years celebrations. We have two deeded weeks of at two different timeshare resorts. Both are two bedroom units and 5 star rated. One week in the Ozarks is $345 every year and the other in Minnesota is $595 every year. The two weeks total $78.33 when budgeted over 12 months. What we did was budget and pay the two resorts the total of $78.33 per month starting in January for next years vacation. When you think about it $78.33 will most likely buy one motel room at a decent motel each month. That motel room does not include all the amenities of a timeshare accommodation if you were to vacation that way. We are paid ahead each year for our vacations. We did not ask the resort if they would accept monthly payments in advance we just did it and now we consider it in our monthly vacations as a normal bill paying event. It has been so much easier.

The Village

Unique Treetop Village is located in the desirable Horseshoe Bend area on the Lake of the Ozarks in central Missouri. The village is a beautifully designed resort community comprised of timeshare (2 or 3 bedroom) and fully owned freestanding residences. All units share a common contemporary architectural vision, making Treetop Village the best example of an architecturally planned resort on the Lake of the Ozarks. For our guests/residents who appreciate natural beauty in addition to architecture, Treetop Village is a popular walking area. Many of the timeshare units overlook our gorgeous position on the Lake, while others are along the popular Robert Trent Jones-designed golf course. And, yet other residences nestle serenely into the wooded landscape that has typified the Lake area since its inception."

How Do We Do A Voluntary Foreclosure? � OC Foreclosure Options

How Do We Do A Voluntary Foreclosure? � OC Foreclosure Options: "I have deeded back a timeshare many years ago. I got a Quit Claim deed from a stationary store, typed the exact legal description into the form and had it notorized. Make sure both husband and wife legally sign it. I never heard another word. What would they do? Come after me for property I no longer owned? Would I pay anything more. No! I am not giving you any advice merely stating something I had to do when I was in a financial bind at one time in my life. Do I own timeshare yet today. Yes, I own two weeks. One was given to me via legal contract “Free” and the other I purchased on the Internet for a reasonable price. My wife and I love our timeshare vacations. We are both retired. I was a timeshare salesman for about 12 years."

Lawrence Welk TimeShare Resort-CA-2010



WoW! We spent one week at a 5 star timeshare resort at Cave Creek the 2nd week of Jan 2010. I wrote another article about that resort earlier. It was fantastic. However, nothing prepared us for the Lawrence Welk timeshare resort at Escondito, CA one week later. It was above a 5 star rating as far as we were concerned. The trade in cost was $139 for one week at a two bedroom sleep 8 unit. It was approximately 1400 square feet including the lock off apartment. The lock off apartment was not much small and had its own kitchen facilities. Our brothers husband had her own apartment with a door between both units that we kept open most of the time. The resort had everything you can imagine for entertainment. It would be a kids dream playground. This resort is definitely worth trading into if you have a chance to do so. To buy one week at this resort it would cost around $45,000 but we found one on the Internet after we left for $8,000 by a private party.

Cave Creek, Az - Timeshare - 2010


We are here at Cave Creek Villas at Cave Creek, Az. This is Jan. 2010. WoW! What a great way to vacation at a 5 Star Resort associated with Interval International. Temp outside today about 67 degrees. Can it get any better? We left Minnesota one day before the Jan.2010 storm in the Dakotas, Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas came in. The view is great. The two bedroom condos are great. This year my brother Gary and wife Sarah vacationed with us. My brother, Lowell and his wife Joan from Sedona are also visiting with us but they are in their beautiful motor home.

So, let the fun begin. We would recommend this 5 Star resort to anyone anytime.
