newbie
Im new to this, so please bear with me. We have stayed at my in laws HGVC timeshare multiple times, I believe their home resort is in Vegas, but they always trade it. We have stayed near Disney multiple times (once at the Tuscan resort and this past week at the SeaWorld resort), and in St Martin for our honeymoon. and we love to travel so we think this may be a good choice for us.
1) Where do you want your home resort to be?
Would probably trade it most of the time, so highest trade value/ease of trade, or close to the northeast, maybe Virginia beach, outer banks, maine?
2) Do you want to visit your home resort at least half the time, or do you want to trade more than half the time?
Trade
3) What are your 5 top trade destinations?
Carribean, Europe, Pacific Islands, US Ski Resort areas, West Coast US
4) How many people do you usually travel with?
Four - six but mainly four (Wife, kids ages 4 and 5, possibly grandparents, and I)
5) Can you travel any time, or are you locked into the school schedule?
School schedule
6) Can you make firm plans 12 or more mos. in advance?
We try to plan early because of the school schedule issue so we would like to
7) Can you vacation for a full week at a time?
Yes
8) What level of accommodations do you prefer on a scale of 1 to 5 stars?
5 (don't we all prefer 5?)
9) How much can you afford to spend upfront, without financing?
10k but would like to spend less, Ive seen lots of deals, but some seem to good to be true (1 week in vail busy season for 4k)
10) How much can you afford to spend every year for a maintenance fee that will come due right after Christmas, and increase each year?
If the value is there then id go up to 1500 but would like to spend less
11) Are you a detail oriented planner?
We try to be but it doesn't always happen like that
12) Do you understand that once you buy a timeshare, it may be very difficult to sell or give away, and you are responsible for all fees, until you do?
I do understand this, but I am really only looking at the resale market (or at least that's my plan from the research I have done) so I would think that I could get rid of it for close to what I paid because the person id be buying from would be the one taking the hit. Please correct me if im wrong here.
Thank you in advance for all of your help.
