Timeshares are definitely not a financial investment. As in a timeshare owner will never see a return of any sort on their timeshare property. However a timeshare can certainly be a personal investment. There are many people out there who just cant seem to get themselves to get away because of the commitments they have at work or home. These people tend to like timeshares because it forces them to get away every year because you have to pay your maintenance fees every single year and it keeps you thinking about how you need to take a vacation.
There are also a lot of owners out there who are perfectly satisfied with their timeshare experiences, currently anyways. The problem is, regardless of why a person likes their timeshare or finds it to be a great personal investment, it is always a temporary feeling. When it comes to a contract the goes on forever and you can’t get out of it by selling (because there is NO resale market), it’s only a matter of time before maintenance fees get really high and special assessments get billed or weeks go unused. The truth about timeshares is that they go on forever…as in, if you pass away, it gets passed down to your heirs, successors, and assigns whether they want it or not. Just like any piece of real estate or property.
Many people ask how a one weeks vacation at a resort can be deeded as property. It doesn’t seem like it should be legal but it is and because of that it gets passed on to our family regardless of whether they want it or not.

Return on Investment (ROI) also known as Rate of Return (ROR) is defined as the ratio of profit or loss relative to the investment made. The money that is gained or lost is generally referred as to as the interest amount, profit or loss or net income or loss. The investment is referred to as the asset, capital, principal or cost basis of the investment. ROI is typically shown as a percentage and rarely as a fraction.
In the ROI calculation there are two terms that are used – Vi which is the initial value of investment and Vf which is the final value of investment. Though it is difficult to clearly define the monetary value of these two, when calculating ROI they have to be stated clearly along with the justification for the value being mentioned. The rate of return is calculated over a single given period or over multiple periods when it is expressed as an average. ROI is expressed as difference between final investment value and initial investment value with respect to the initial investment value. ROI (arithmetic return) = (Vf – Vi)/ Vi . Different types of returns are calculated for various purposes. Some of them are – logarithmic return, arithmetic average rate of return, geometric ROI, Internal return rate and so on.

Well, a lot of this discussion will depend on what your goal of investing is. If you are talking about personal investing (held outside a tax-advantaged account) for the purpose of producing an income in the near future or to increase your net worth just because you want more money, then diversification may not be the best approach. Most high net-worth individuals (millionaires, if that is what we want to call them) do not diversify most of the investments.
They tend to concentrate their investments (be it stocks, real estate, their own business, etc.) in a few areas that they understand best. Also, these people tend to invest with vehicles in which they have a large amount of control over. For example, building or buying properties for the purpose of renting them for an income allows you to choose where to buy and how to upgrade the real estate. Owning your own business gives you a lot of control.
