be aware that Orlando houses are overpriced.
a house that 10 years ago was $50,000 can be $300,000 now.
wait a few years until the market is adjusted.
that is why you buy resale and only if the person selling is willing to meet your offer.
they can offer their timeshares for $10,000 - but it is really worth $2,000 - offer $2,000. You might be turned down a couple of times. but someone will take it.
www.tug2.net is a wonderful place to see what timeshare are really worth.
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER buy from a developer.
BUT, there do seem to be some pretty good deals on resale. I'm guessing that they are basically people who bought them with the intention of using them a lot, then didn't use them, and want to get out from under the yearly maintenance fees.
In that situation, I can see where a good deal might be found for somebody who knew they would use something like that for vacation regularly.
Thanks for the help!
Guys, we've got a 3bedroom booked in May. So far, all looks good. Is there anything I can do NOW to make sure we get no surprises? I'm crossing my fingers that since they are catching overbookings in November, that they've hopefully already passed May in checking all their records.
BBB is Better Business Bureau here in the states. Its a company that you can file complaints against businesses and they try to work things out for you and if the business doesnt cooperate they get a mark on their BBB record which most businesses dont want
Hey IGK, please let us know what happens with your refund from HK. I also just cancelled my reservation for CP through HK and am now worried about it becoming a hassle to get my refund. On the other hand, I am very excited because we are staying at WH in a three bedroom townhome and will have our own pool. It is going to be a surprise for the kids. They were begging to stay at WH when I was first looking at their website but they still think we are staying at CP (which also looked nice). 5 1/2 weeks to go!!!!!!
