Hello Everyone,
Long time lurker so I have a good understanding of what I'm getting into and would like your advice now that I've decided to buy. I've been to a few marketing presentation weekends and so far was able to resist all but one (which I rescinded the next day). All of my experience so far is with HGVC (Las Vegas, Myrtle Beach, Orlando and NYC in September). I tend to stay in Hilton properties which is how I get these marketing weekends, but I don't have a firm brand loyalty.
1) Where do you want your home resort to be? Within 4 hour drive from Nashville, TN
2) Do you want to visit your home resort at least half the time, or do you want to trade more than half the time? I plan on trading more than half the time.
3) What are your 5 top trade destinations? I don't have a preference, my travel is usually based on airfare costs. I do want the ability to travel internationally.
4) How many people do you usually travel with? Total of 3
5) Can you travel any time, or are you locked into the school schedule? Any time
6) Can you make firm plans 12 or more mos. in advance? Yes
7) Can you vacation for a full week at a time? Yes
8) What level of accommodations do you prefer on a scale of 1 to 5 stars? 4+
9) How much can you afford to spend upfront, without financing? $10,000
10) How much can you afford to spend every year for a maintenance fee that will come due right after Christmas, and increase each year? $2,000 - $3,000
11) Are you a detail oriented planner? Yes
12) Do you understand that once you buy a timeshare, it may be very difficult to sell or give away, and you are responsible for all fees, until you do? Yes
Thanks,
Amir
