[Q=loant4] We are considering purchasing resale, 1 week high floating deed. Is this a good idea?[/Q] This (relatively new) property on Marco Island has [b]obscenely[/b] high "retail" (i.e., developer-direct) prices, but you don't identify what your prospective resale purchase would cost, so it's impossible to know whether it's actually a good deal, financially speaking. Consider annual maintenance fees costs (which I'm sure are quite high there) and whether the defined range of weeks available for reservation within that particular "floating, high" week ownership would work for you. In theory, "floating" week ownerships provide reservation flexibility, but [b]ONLY[/b] if the specifically defined range of weeks [b]within that particular floating ownership [/b]actually works for you [b]AND[/b] you can successfully [b]obtain[/b] a reservation within that particular specifically defined range of weeks. "Floating" weeks provide flexible reservation [b]opportunity[/b], but with [b]absolutely no[/b] guaranty of space [b]availability[/b] when [b]you[/b] want to be there.
