What do you wish you knew in 2022 before you made your purchase?
That craig units weren't "scary international stuff", and probably to use a different sales channel. I found using the broker still misleading (I called about multiple listed online Vegas properties, was told oh, we sold those months ago, bla bla buy in Florida cause there's lots of inventory, and MFs aren't that much higher). Like the broker made it impossible to look at a list of units for sale and offered prices for me to pick from. I didn't get ripped off like retail, but since it really seems like I paid at least $1,000 more than I should have, and probably more like $3,000 given the extra $500 a year MFs.
The other thing that I literally *couldn't* haven known in 2022, no one could, was that Craig would get DEX access, so where I have Seaworld for HGVC and RCI, and Fox Run for II and would need to get Diamond (not doing it) or a Craig week for DEX, one Craig week can let you get RCI via HGVC, an independent II account and DEX. Of course, the value to you here is going to depend on if you want to use cash weeks, or are willing to use the week in traditional whole week exchanges if it works out in II or DEX.
