I was notified yesterday that our resale has gone to ROFR. I was headed to my credit union when I thought hey, what if disney buys the points and I have a loan I don't need? Should I wait until it passes ROFR? it's a small amount.
You can always apply and ask for a delayed disbursement. This way, you know you are set so when you need, it, you can just have them release the funds.
If it's an open loan, you can always pay it off if the contract gets taken in ROFR. I also assume if it does get taken, you will try again, so you will still need the loan anyways
