the mfs for Grandview 2 contracts 1. 61000 I paid 349.50 annual 1 bedroom, 2. 120,000 I paid 649.50 annual 2 bedroom... So that's 1000.00 a year I pay for all my Points..... Then you have the RCI fees..... I paid the yearly one I think for 5 years great deal.....I really try to get all I can from my Points and don't leave anything left on the table... A week at Bonnet Creek 3 bedroom would have been everything of at least $3000 plus the airfare 600.00... Now you see why I love Time Sharing..... Dave
I bought both resale and figure if I want to get rid of them in the future it shouldn't be that hard.....
So, MF of $999 and 161,000 annual RCI Points works out to .55 cents per point. That's very good!
MF = $116 and some change.
RCI Points = 16,333/yr
It's an every third year 1/br, but there are regularly great deals on RCI to get in there during Extra Vacation sales or Last Calls. The month we spent there in February was for $209/wk.
And, that's a MF/RCI Points cost of .71 cents a point. That's also very good. You might want to use Points-For-Deposit to get more RCI Points. Points-For-Deposit (PFD) is a program that lets you take weeks from an RCI resort that is *not* in RCI Points and turn them into RCI Points. There's a fee, but it's pretty low (about $26 per week deposited, I think.)
My concern about Grandview, however, is that it's still in developer sales. Are the MFs being subsidized by the developer? If they are, there could be a big hike in fees once the resort is sold out. A big hike could also happen if the reserves aren't adequately funded. (This is also a problem with Vacation Village at Parkway, another low-cost RCI Points resort managed by the same company.)
In general, I suggest caution when dealing with developer-controlled resorts. My cost per RCI point is about .88 cents, but the RCI Points resorts I own are HOA-controlled. HOA-controlled resorts are a lot safer for owners.
I attended a sales presentation at Vacation Village at Parkway, and they fed me the biggest pack of lies of any "90 minutes" presentation I've ever been too. (And that's saying something, because I've been to dozens of timeshare sales presentations, including Westgate's.) It doesn't give me a lot of confidence in the management company.
