Monthly Maintenance Fee

I think what is often overlooked is the amount of money your family can afford monthly for maintenance Fees. I own Wyndham points which my wife and I really enjoy. But we knew, before we bought, how we were going to cover those fees. That helps a lot.

Fixed week?

When my kids were in school, I found fixed weeks best. I had to work around their vacations and not worry about not getting time I needed. Now that they are older and I am retired anytime would be good for me. Find the resort you want even if you have to rent a couple times before you invest. It took me over a year to find what I wanted but it was worth it. Two bedrooms are a must for your use, for rental, or for resale. If there are outdoor activities in the area you are looking, make sure they operate during your week. Pay attention to whether there are stairs or elevators. Know how far you have to get to the grocery store. Check out the TUG reviews. Good luck.
