Donation (1)

Donating Your Timeshare

What are your goals? If your goal is to make money while gaining a hefty tax credit, it will rarely make sense to donate a timeshare week. According to federal law, you can deduct a non-cash charity donation from your tax return if you itemize your taxes. Moreover, a right-to-use timeshare doesn’t qualify for this type of tax deduction. Only a deeded timeshare property is eligible. The deduction is equal to the timeshare’s fair market value.

Steps to Donate Timeshare

  • Firstly, you must first determine the Fair Market Value of the timeshare. Understand that timeshares, even Club Wyndham and Hilton Grand Vacations, depreciate rapidly and immediately upon purchase.
  • Secondly, you’ll need to hire an appraiser to prove the value of your deed. Get everything in writing, including a document stating the appraiser will testify to its value’s correctness. Insurance appraisals are not acceptable. An IRS acceptable appraisal list is public. By law, these are the only appraisers who can evaluate your timeshare.
  • Lastly, your timeshare must be paid in full with the resort or resort’s lender. Also, If there is still a mortgage owed, a charity will not accept it as a gift.

The amount of paperwork needed to complete a timeshare donation is vast. This could be a lengthy process in which you will still be responsible for paying all maintenance fees, utility taxes, and other special assessments until, or if, the donation is accepted.

Refinance Your Timeshare

Are you struggling to make your mortgage or maintenance payments on your timeshare? You may have been told that refinancing is an option. A direct refinance of a timeshare rarely happens. Many people will take out a lower rate line of credit on their primary residence to pay off a timeshare. The better option is to simply cancel it completely.

Are you tired of paying your loan month after month only for all of your payments to go directly to the high-interest rate? Since there’s no equity in timeshares, refinancing will be tricky.

However, if you’re on the brink of foreclosure, refinancing may not be the best choice. Here’s why. If your lender were to foreclose your timeshare, your credit score would drop significantly.

Home Equity Loan

This type of loan could decrease your loan up to 40 points if you have enough equity in your home to qualify. The downside, your home will be at risk if you default.

  1. Because most banks won’t refinance a timeshare, the resale value is very low. Some companies are willing to refinance and give you slightly less payment. Beware, when that low-interest rate expires, hight interest rates become a possibility. Read your specific credit card rules and regulations.

Credit Card Balance Transfer

  1. If you try transferring the loan balance to a low-interest credit card, just know your interest rate could go up due to a missed payment. 
  2. Borrowing against your 401K is never a good idea. You could jeopardize your future retirement funds.
  3. By the time you research and compare refinancing offers, you’ll be out months of your time. Of course, if your end goal is to get rid of your timeshare, you could forego refinancing and explore ways to offload it.
