    Do Maintenance fees increase after signing contract?

    We've only purchased directly from developers in the past. (Never again) I have one now telling me that once I sign a resale contract, the resort will often times raise the mf. Have any of you found this to be the case?

    Is it hard to get vacations that are not in your home resort?

    Hi all, I'm currently in the process of buying 4800 platinum points at the Tuscany Village in Orlando, but i noticed that the maintenance fees at Las Vegas is much less.
