| Timeshares an Attractive Alternative to Second Home Ownership
As an affordable alternative to second home ownership, timeshare ownership has increased in popularity among 'would-be' second home investors. Lake Tahoe, NV (PRWEB) March 24, 2008 -- Karen Phelan, Broker/Owner of Preferred Timeshare Resales based out of Lake Tahoe, has observed a new breed of timeshare buyers enter the market over recent months. Phelan said, "The buyers we're starting to see more of are those who never considered timeshare ownership until now. Even in signs of today's uncertain residential real estate market, many still dream of owning a vacation home in their favorite vacation destination. With timeshares, people are discovering their dream is still well within reach." Why? Many 'would-be' vacation home buyers are discovering timeshares are an attractive alternative to owning a second home, based on economics and common sense: Affordability: Would-be second home investors are instead purchasing timeshares at a fraction of what it would have cost to own a vacation home.
Probe begins in fatal Miami crane crash
Authorities are investigating what caused a section of construction crane to plummet 30 floors into a home that a contractor used for storage, killing two people in the nation's second deadly crane accident in 10 days. The accident occurred at a downtown Miami high-rise condominium Tuesday when workers tried to raise the crane section to extend the equipment's reach, said Miami fire spokesman Ignatius Carroll. It fell 30 floors and smashed through the Spanish-tiled roof of a two-story house that was the home of Cameron Diaz's character in the movie "There's Something About Mary." Five workers were hurt, one critically. Terrance Hennessy, 59, a safety inspector for an insurance company, died at the scene, according to Miami police. Jeremy Thornsbury, 21, of Tamarac, died at a hospital, police said.
