That may not be the case. I have $23,000 put aside for my downpayment and closing costs on a home (first home). I have almost $5K put aside for
DVC BLT. I am buying the DVC in March, the home in May.
I have money for both, but I don't want DVC showing up on my credit report when i'm buying a loan because I'm preapproved based on other finances and I don't want to be disqualified by the DVC financing. Even though I can more than afford the house and the closing costs and the monthly payment, I am obliged to Disney for not putting it on a credit report. Also, I will be able to pay off half almost instantly by March
In some cases, yes people may be overextended or not want a DVC default to appear on their credit report. DVC may change this practice later. But for now, I am thankful!
