DVC Purchase vs Just Renting Points

[mikesmom]

Because in 10 or 15 years you will still have your DVC and the rentals will be up to $20 -$30 point. And heaven knows WHAT the regular rates will be from Disney.

Well, let's say that you are renting 150 pts every three years, and you pay $1500 for those pts. If you bought 50 pts and used them every 3 years for your vacation, you would have the pts pd off in about 9 years, and after that you are vacationing on the cost of the dues, about $600. Now, you're getting a huge deal, and you can STILL sell the 50 pts and recoup your original investment, or maybe even more, so all those vacations cost you about $600 vs the $1500 you paid as a renter.

Well said.
