Word is Inspirato is having trouble forecasting usage because members book last minute and don't have much incentive to book 1 year out. With such a low membership fee there is also not as much pressure to "get your money's worth" and use up your days. More traditional DC members tend to plan further out and use up most of their days.

Any word on how many members there are?

I just got back from Kiawah at the AK house... Tarheel is there right now, so he might have some thoughts...

Quintess's home is for sale... According to the agent, they paid millions more than it's worth now...The rumor, which I don't know is true or not, is that they are selling all there east coast homes?

Is this true? I heard it from a real estate agent, so take it for what it's worth.

We love Kiawah.. It's the only place we've been to, that we would consider buying a second home.

Coincidently, yes.. Back to back.. (we were emailing back and forth about another property and figured it out)

I have no idea. The agent who I talked to said that the Quintess house is a real big house and very expensive to maintain. She said it was substantially bigger than the AK house and cost a lot more. (the AK house is pretty big 4,200 sq feet)

Anyway, just take it for rumor and gossip since I can't confirm it.

It's amazing, these guys keep coming back. And they will probably find new suckers to fleece.

The one benefit of being owed by yourself is that you'll probably get more than the ZERO cents on the dollar those owed by either of Rich Keith's prior destination clubs got.

Saved me from myself

I'm glad I came across this as I was getting ready to invest money in LAG. My friends (who are in real estate) said it sounded to good to be true.
