You unit isn't worthless and rental rates are bad because owners don't have the stomach to maintain the rental rates. there are too many owners freaking out and accepting rents at or below maintenance because they don't have an oligopoly to keep rates firm. Unfortunately sell/rent by owner websites pit owners against each other rather than support the owner marketing effort to ensure a reasonable floor pricing on the units. Yes, it's aggravating costs have risen. The solution is to coordinate proxies to name an owner attending the meeting and vote out the HOA/Developer board members and replace them with non developer affiliated owners. Just as at other locations, it's time to give fliers to owners/guests every time you stay at the resort, collect e-mail/phone/address info as much as possible, create a Yahoo group where your information can be better shared since it is somewhat discouraged on RW forums, and that way when 15 owners show up for an annual meeting they have thousands of proxies with their name on it rather than none.
