Doug chats with both his dad and Chris Rusin about timeshares and each of their experiences with them. They explore the aggressive sales tactics often used, financial pitfalls, hidden fees, the dubious resale market, harsh realities of escalating maintenance fees, and ultimately selling a timeshare. They also highlight tactics for surviving timeshare presentations and explore how timeshares may fit into broader financial strategies.
