Thanks for the info :)

Here's the two bedroom platinum that was previously posted (see below). Since this an Orlando property, the MFs should be exactly the same except for the tax. When I add the Operating Fee ($694.53), Reserve Fee ($127.34) and the Voluntary Arda Roc ($3.00), I get your total of $824.87

Some additional info....

Q. I own a eoy at the Hilton Hawaiian Village but I get billed the total amount eoy.
I just want to confirm that I understand your post above. Are you saying at Marbrisa that you get billed every year for half the total MF?

A. That is correct-I get billed half the mf every year for this eoy unit. That is why I doubled.
 
MarBrisa 2 bedroom platinum MFs

A little late to the game, but here they are...

Grand Pacific MarBrisa Resort
2 bedroom, platinum season -- 7,000 points

Assessments $685.44
Capital Reserves $70.16
Property Tax $190.04

Total 945.64

Thanks for compiling this information!

:)
 
The first post regarding MF you see on Valdoro is for 2 weeks. The one week MF would be half the number shown. They sold a float week and a fixed ski week as a package.

question about MF's and taxes

Great job of compiling the data - much appreciated!

Question for you HGVC owners:

I'm looking to eventually buy into HGVC and thus have been perusing the classifieds for resales on TUG, Judi K's site, Seth Nock's, etc. Obviously other than the up front purchase price, I'm keenly interested in ongoing MF's and taxes. Depending on the listing site, these figures vary widely for the same type of unit at the same resort.

So my question is: shouldn't the MF's and taxes on a given unit type at at a given resort for a given year be the same across all units of that type? For example, shouldn't all 1 br units at Seaworld have the same MF and property taxes for 2011? And shouldn't these be the same regardless of the season (e.g. gold or platinum)? If so I'm not certain how reliable the data is on some of these classified ads, and I'd much rather go by what has been reported on this thread.

Or could it be some units of the same type at the same resort are assessed differently?

Thanks for any light that can be shed on this question.

From my recent experience researching over the past three months and eventually buying, many people are not adding in the tax, added or didn't add their club dues ($114), are using MFs from previous years, or do not know exactly what they own (i.e. Studio listed as 1br/1ba). Judi's site had a few of these but she happily checked on the actual MF+tax on anything I was interested in.

Edit: Note that on some of these sites the listings come from other agents, so it's not Judi entering in incorrect data, it's just what is in the listing shared from the other agency.
