Re: Maintenance Fees (by Jeff R.):

Jay Jay,

I don't doubt what you are saying about many not able to afford them from the developers. They are very expensive. The funny thing is that I probably make less than most. At least a great deal of the people I know.

I don't have a problem with people buying resale. It makes perfect sense to me. The problem I'm having is all the negative that is coming from so many people about buying from the developers. If you want to buy resale then do so and BE HAPPY. Just don't trash the developers because their in it to make a profit. To each their own.

Mean while the maintenance fees are still the decision and responsibility of the owners and not the developers. We decide how much mony is charged and spent.

As far as the Hmmmmm goes, they are another company just like any other. If the benefits are good and the potential for pay AND it happens to line up with my interests, why not? They really aren't the bad guys everyone portrays. Not one thing can be said about them that we couldn't say about Walmart or any other company.

jeff, it's good that you're satisifed with your 5 developer purchases and that you could afford them, however there are millions of people that cannot afford even one developer bought timeshare. That's why the timeshare resale and rental market is so important.

The resale market saves buyers thousands of dollars. And although many people could afford to buy developer, they don't care to buy just to get the very expensive perks they offer when they can get the same product for far less money.

So, you loved buying from the developer so much that you finally went to work for them, hmmmmm?
