Start With a Free Timeshare

Why is it free? Owners who no longer use their timeshare pass it on to someone who will. You take over for $0, with no closing costs or transfer fees, and a title and transfer company handles the paperwork in about 60 to 90 days. Depending on timing, some listings include a free week for the new owner, with the maintenance fee already paid.
