[PRNewswire] -- CNNMoney.com has often sounded the warning that timeshares are a trap. In one article, Bill Rogers, of Timeshare Users Group, said, "You don't buy a timeshare as an investment. You buy it because you want to use it." The article also reminds us the price of timeshares are grossly inflated 35-45% to cover all the hype that goes into getting people to buy them in the first place. Once timeshare owners realize their mistake and try to sell their property they discover a hard truth - unlike other real estate, timeshares lose value rather than gain it over time.

Florida Attorney Susan Budowski says, "The information reported by CNNMoney.com isn't startling, but the fact that article ran in April of 2002 and still goes unheeded is. Approaching a decade later, the news is worse rather than better. Maintenance dues alone increase on average 8% each year over your lifetime and that doesn't include inevitable assessments along the way. Timeshares are not an investment and it's time to accept it. It's time to consider finding an attorney who specializes in timeshare cancellation and get out at all costs. Wise investors know when to learn their lesson, cut their losses, and stop the bleeding before making matters even worse. Sadly, many timeshare companies continue to misrepresent timeshare purchases as a real estate investment."
