Well, I'll take the plunge and start us out!
My folks take turns being the president of the HOA for Lake Carlos Villas in beautiful Alexandria, Minnesota. It is a small, very well run resort that trades well due to limited supply of ts in MN.
Here are the stats:
2BR 2BA sleeps 6 or 8 (several of the 2BR units have a loft as well)
Annual maintenance fee: $448 (taxes included) beginning 2009. Fees have not gone up in FOUR YEARS. Budget is voted on by the owners, so MF increases and special assessments are extrememly rare.
Floating weeks: All of January through May 15, November and December (excluding weeks 51 and 52)
The week can be split for more than one visit per year.
Usage begins 2009
No closing or transfer fees!! This is a sold-out resort that is not licensed to sell real estate, thus cannot technically sell a week.
Check it out for yourself at www.lakecarlosvillas.com
The resort recently underwent major renovation including a new outdoor pool and new interior appliances, surfaces, and furnishings with no special assessment needed.
Please feel free to post any questions or send me a pm, and please spread the word. There are three foreclosed weeks that need new owners.
Thanks,
Jana
