ROFR Thread April to June 2021 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

[Amyeliza]

@Amyeliza is this BCV in addition to your Poly and Boulder Ridge, or are you not going to do the BRV?

Edit: I see your signature now on my desktop , and see your Boulder Ridge picture is missing.

Yes, I'm a mess. I'm embarassed by my indecisions.

I understand your thought process. last night I realized for all the points I just signed up for, I could probalby buy a condo or small house in FLA. Had a conversation with DH ths morning. The pros are we would OWN the property 52 weeks forever AND we could bring our dogs. The cons, of course, are worrying about the upkeep. He had no interest in the upkeep of owning another home. We may be blessed to own a second home in the future as is and that would be more than enough.
I am trying to back off the resale sites as I now have my desired number of points - only hassle is one of the last contracts is priced high but for a small number of points - haven't signed the paperwork as it just worked out on Thursday,
It feels sureal to think we may have gone from 350 > 1250 but we may not depending on ROFR (god, I hate that term) in 4 contracts. Luckily, I am traveling to see my precious grandchild for the second time in his first year later this week so my whole self will be preoccupied soon enough.
I'm happy you found your path and grateful that you shared your story, brave, one.

Reading your story about OWKe and your Sarasota contract really brought home to me the importance of being happy with your decisions. My fingers and toes are crossed that you will go through ROFR without any hitches. It took me 21 days for my contract. Thank you for being so open and honest with everyone!

Don't be embarrassed. It could be way worse. You could have been born a kidnapper, psychopath, or one of those people at WDW that cut in line. Instead you've just been a little indecisive about DVC - not too bad at all!!! lol

I've learned a lot through this process. The main thing is that I'm not cut out for the resale process. I have a very impulsive personality and also suffer from high anxiety. My brain switches back and forth between "I need to get this because it's a deal!" to "Buy what you love! #YOLO" My head tells me to be practical and to get the deal and learn to love it. My heart tells me to choose the property I love (at less points) and enjoy the time I can stay there. In the resale market, I have been unable to find both. I also don't have the patience to stalk the resale sites nonstop anymore.

My deed was recorded 10 days ago for my original Poly purchse. I plan to buy direct later this week (if and when my membership is created)! I'm being optimistic because the current rate is 11 - 15 days until a membership account is created with DVC. Once done, I'm going to buy a 30 points at BCV, my favorite resort ever. I will be able to get two days (during the week) in a studio or 4 days every two years. I was going to buy a BWV contract because of the low points for the standard rooms, but I decided to buy what I love. Standard rooms are not guaranteed.

Thank you for listening and for all your advice over the past couple months! Best of luck and can't wait for all of us to be "Welcome Home" again and again.

I can totally relate to everything you said. My OKW resale has taken forever and I still don’t have my points yet. That’s why I ended up buying a 125 point direct buy at Riviera. I should have my OKW done with the next 3 weeks at latest but I started process on 1/31/21!! We are totally done now with total combined points of 340. That’s plenty for our family.

Awww

This is a big decision and the home resort advantage is important at several resorts.

My family grew up staying at Yacht and Beach Club, so I have a soft spot for BCV.

Don't be embarrassed. It could be way worse. You could have been born a kidnapper, psychopath, or one of those people at WDW that cut in line. Instead you've just been a little indecisive about DVC - not too bad at all!!! lol

True!

 

[ScubaCat]

At least somebody gets to use them . But I need you to vacate that BCV room by June 28th please.

Good thing I was hiding at CCV

Updated!

Thanks for all your hard work on this pangyal. OneTsp and E2ME2 have both passed ROFR on AKV. They may not have reported this in the correct format. We are the only ones still waiting on AKV from March.

Well, I have been going through the passes and takens list and it seems like people hear back as soon as around the 21 day mark so good luck. I am waiting for mine which was sent 4/7. Pixie dust for us both! This is my third try as well.

Fingers crossed that I found the sweet spot for May! I've been lurking for a while and want to thank everyone on the board for their thoughtful discussion on what can be a big purchase. You have been a great resource to help me understand the best approach to ownership. Hope to become an official DVC member in July!!

Oooo $160 is a decent price with a better chance of passing ROFR. Did you get confused by your years though or are those 2020 points banked? Anyway good luck!

Sorry, I am new to deciphering these contracts, but aren't those 250 points from 2020 already expired? And why would they use 110 points from 2021 when they had all those 2020 points?

Thanks Sunny—that’s what I’m hoping. As for your question, I had to double-check with the broker myself. What happened is the seller banked their 2020 points and then decided to use 110 in 2020. In order to do that they had to borrow from 2021 and voila—it’s 250/140/250!

I’m with you Theta! As I posted on a separate thread, is the seller banked their 2020 points and then decided to use 110 in 2020. In order to do that they had to borrow from 2021 so we ended-up with 250/140/250. Interesting!

I think you might want to write it as 390/21, 250/22, 250/23 since the 2020 points have been banked into your 2021 and 2020 use year has passed for Feb. Think it would be less confusing for people when they read your post. You can always leave a little explanation in your post as to how the points fall.

Great point--I'll update it now!
