Buying A Hilton Timeshare Foreclosure
In the event you choose to purchase a timeshare property in foreclosure, it is important to keep in mind that any assessments from the previous owner will be taken over by you, in addition to the typical annual maintenance fees and monthly cost. Because of this, if you do choose to purchase a deeded timeshare currently being foreclosed, you may want to go through a title search. This will determine if there are any existing liens on the title. These liens would not be eliminated by foreclosure, and would have to be taken over by the new owner, yourself. Using a licensed broker can eliminate the worry of being scammed or simply paying too much.
Title searches cost money, so you may also be able to request a public offering statement, which would detail everything from charges and assessments, to any potential future expenses, transfer restrictions on the title, and just an overall description of the property. These are a couple of different options you have to make sure that you are purchasing an affordable property without having to take on unpaid fees and debts along with it.
