Im new to timesharing.
I just bought a week 26 at vacation village @ parkway from an individual. It's an odd year ( that way I won't have to go every yr. or pay MF every yr. ) the paperworks are still in process (legaltimesharetranfer) thanks to Tugbbs!
Can someone tell me if this is a good week in terms of trading powers / using it?
What are the disadvantage or advantages of this (resort or my week)
The seller has deposited the 2011 thru RCI and can be used till 4/2013.
How can I get the most out of this TS? We intend to visit it next year!
Thank you!
Welcome NewbeeGil. You did great getting a week 26 at VV@P.
The advantage with week 26 is you get very good TPU's on a split deposit. I own week 26 also and you'll get between 53 and 63 TPU's for a split deposit, depending on the year. The place is in good condition, shouldn't need any significant improvements any time soon, and reserves for future work are pretty good.
You also get discounted RCI exchange fees if you exchange to other "Daily Management" resorts. That's the management company. The sister resorts can be found Here. The discounted exchange fee is $129 or $139. You can also pay your MF and request a split deposit at the website. Make sure to complete your deposits at leat 9 months out for max TPU's.
Now for the top five list of disadvantages.
#5 - They always have an oversupply of weeks available for people to trade into.
#4 - We MAY be getting more TPU's on deposit than we should.
#3 - Some who don't own here may feel cheated.
#2 - VV@P might be in bed with the evil RCI
and #1 - Carolinian hates VV@P, Orlando & RCI... he will beat you up over it relentelessly.
