Who should pay maintenance fees for 2016 December

[sndral]

When I bought I had an amount per point that I was willing to pay - I didn't care how we titled it - if my target was $75 per point I didn't care whether I paid $70 per point plus $5 maintenance fees or $75 per point w/ seller paying MFs as long as the total I paid was my target price (or less.)
That was an AKL Dec. use year contract btw

If I personally were selling a contract like that i'd expect the purchaser to pay 2016 MF for the 99 banked points and I'd be prepared to pay the rest.

But everything is negotiable there is no should.

Okay here is the latest deal it's pretty much all the same $68 a point and reimburse the seller for the 2016 points that's coming this December so with that said I am in it for $74.42 and I have a contract that has 99 bank points for 2015 and by the time my close I would already have 230 points from the December 2016

Wow. That's excellent negotiation skills. I think I need you to help me negotiate on my next purchase.

Care to share with us how you manage to get the seller to come down to this level? And after everything is signed, will you be able to share with us your negotiating strategy? Where you start and how you end up at that price?

Just keep making offers until you get the right seller . Theworst thing the seller can say is no the hard part is finding an agent that would make your low offers, by the way we passed ROFR Disney did not buy it back

That's incredibly fast turn-around. Didn't you just start the thread last week?

Thanks for the advise. I will definitely keep that in mind on my next contract. Would you mind to share at the end of the day, how much were you able to knock off from asking?

Congrats on an EXCELLENT deal!
