I agree with the statement that by owning a deed we have made a real estate "investment." Heaven knows that we have made an investment that has cost us tens of thousands of dollars. However, now that our maintenance fees have skyrocketed since Diamond Resorts took over and we have had an assessment of approximately $12,000 for water intrusion damage our "investment" is now worth zero. Can't sell it, can't give it away, they won't buy it back and we are on the hook for a future that looks very expensive with no way out. This is no hedge against inflation, either. With everyone trying to recoup some of their losses, I can rent cheaper than my maintenance fees. This is a good business model for who? Oh yeah, the big corporations. So what else is new? Buyer, beware when buying a timeshare especially from Diamond Resorts International. I am an owner at the Point at Poipu in Kauai.

Then they keep increasing their management fees year after year. Eventually the deeded owners all are foreclosed on and then they take the foreclosures and turn them into points. An unethical business model. Whenever DRI comes in, they take over the Board of Directors and the management company. Then they keep increasing their management fees year after year.
