I've been looking into whether it makes sense for us to buy a DVC. We used to go to WDW every 2-3 years, then had a child, and now pandemic, so less now. We would like to start going every 2-3 years again, but also want to travel other places. We always rent dvc points when we go.
Can someone review this example and tell me if my calculations are right?
I'm looking at a re-sale listing for $8741 total for AKV. PPP $155, 50 points (coming avail 2022), $8.24 pp dues, expires 2057.
Am I right that works out to being around $13.23/point (using this years dues @ 35 years plus full purchase price?
If this is the case, I'm wondering if we would actually make (a very small amount) money if we sold in years we didn't go? I read DVC is not an investment, so I'm not sure if I am right. Looking at DVC request, where I usually rent points, they would sell mine for $15.5 per point, so I could potentially make $113.5 if I needed to sell points?
Math is not my strong suit - appreciate anyone with a keen eye to let me know!
Thanks!
