2025 Dues

[MerlinandtheMouse]

This will be my 1st time paying dues. I went from I only need 100 points to 753 and another 290 in the works I’m going to do monthly payments so I can be reminded every month about dues.

hahahah wow I was wondering what your current tally looked like. You just really wanted to join the comma club real bad didn’t you? Nice job! The dues might hurt but the deals you got will certainly soften the sting.

And I’ve thought to do the same with our dues; the way we have to metaphorically put ourselves in the corner to be punished like children to avoid spending more money

When I started this journey the comma club seemed absolutely insane, now it just feels normal.

I was just going to say, you're joining the comma club! Ack!

That's my glass ceiling

You're going big at BLT! I'm impressed.
I'm paralyzed about adding on 100

 

[tx911]

My add-on contracts are getting smaller and smaller as I go.
Eventually I'll be trying to add on 5 points, haha.

Still have 3 in the works. A small BLT Im waiting to hear if my offer was accepted and the rest is more Aulani just entering contract and a small Aulani waiting for closing.

These resales take

I know! I hate that. The dopamine just doesn't come quickly enough!

Nope, just anxiety of checking emails 40 times a day.

Is a good part of yearly % fluctuations due to refurb cycles? BRV and BWV are both coming off hard refurb and both saw below average increases.

Other per point cost differences too, like to run resorts and pay transportation, etc. We’re pretty new to this as recent BWV/VGF owners and the estimated 2024 ad valorem tax is quite different per point, $1.64 and $2.02 respectively. Maybe an excessive marble tax added to Grand Flo?

Last year I joked that an Excessive Marble Tax might be reason for the higher property tax per point at VGF.

It’s a funny coincidence RIV and VGF were the only ones to get tax credits back from 2024 and now I’m wondering:

Doesn’t RIV have excessive marble too?

I'm not sure what the anxiety neurotransmitter is, but it sure as hell ain't dopamine!

Hands off my marble

On a more serious note though, at the tax rates listed above for BWV and VGF, the average studio night at each is paying:

BW $25-$30/nt

GF $40-$45/nt

Not exact but is somewhere in that ballpark. If they’re both studios with 5 max occupancy, that’s a big difference.

Is the VGF room and location near twice as valuable for tax rate purposes?

Offered on a BLT yesterday, hope the dues get released in the next 12 days!

Same here. Every time an agent emails about raising my offer I just mention dues are coming...like the GOT Winter is Coming meme.
