Re: raintree vacation club (by Erman C.):
Seems there are many who are still not happy with the special assessment, but latest inputs indicate RVC backed off the SA and will approach improvements the resorts in a more modest way.
I also can confirm that RVC properties are not affiliated with Diamond Resorts Intl (DRI) and can be booked directly by DRI owners on their on-line and phone reservation system. Seems this is an endorsement by DRI that RVC is a viable entity or perhaps it indicates DRI may buy RVC's inventory and take over management in the future as they have done with many other distressed properties. If this happens DRI should follow their same formula of getting the properties back in shapre. They will still need to increase the maintenance fees and reserve funds/special assessments to improve the properties. Remember it does take money and/or high ownership to maintain the top quality owners and vacationers demand.
