Maintanence fees for every other year ownership

We're thinking of buying a Waihoai every-other-year unit. How do the maintenance fees work? Do you pay half of the fee every year, or do you pay the full maintenance fee for the year the unit is yours?

You pay the maintenance fees each year, even tho' you only have every other year ownership.

Please know that the every year payment is 50% of the full amount. So, they just spread the payment out.

You pay half of the overall maintenance fee every year. I am an owner there and have same kind of ownership.

Thanks everyone. Very helpful.

My wife and I bought a week in 2003 even before the building was finished in '04 and later bought two full every weeks and an odd and an even. I think we know something about this useage. When owning was the only way to use this property in the early years, I am not convinced it's a good deal now. We paid about $38,000 for both the odd and even and Marriott just bought our interests in July 2014 for a net of $6,700, plus the fact we paid the annual dues yearly. We could have stayed at a four seasons for that price. Time shares are for people who "think" they're getting a real deal. What they're getting is a real screwing. Don't get me wrong: we enjoyed the property tremendously for over ten years. It's a great place but not at the final tag. It's a fool's deal. Use Redweek to get a week from the owner.
