Aside from maybe throwing in a "free" RCI or II membership (either of which you can buy for yourself without the developer for less than $100 per year), what possible "perks" can a developer offer a buyer which that buyer wouldn't acquire anyhow right along with any resale purchase?

NONE, I respectfully submit as a general rule, except for possible access to limited "in-house" trading options (and how valuable is that access anhow?).

To pay big bucks to a developer in this day and age for imaginary benefits which are equally available in any purchase in the resale market, at a fraction of the cost, is just financial folly in my opinion. But it's your money....
