Purchase price is a fairly easy number to find and analyze for any of the real estate options available in the marketplace.  The greater challenge is the collection and analysis of the ongoing maintenance and operational expenses.  Depending on the ownership model, some expenses are realized personally and others are paid through association fees and special assessments.  Regardless of the collection procedure, understanding all of the potential on-going expenses is paramount.  It is the only way to provide a true apples-to-apples comparison of the annual investment required by each of the vacation home models. 

 

The Cabins Club Membership Dues is structured to include all of the proportional on-going expenses for club operations and membership services for each member, other than the incremental charges incurred for optional services and products.  For a complete list of the expenses included in the Cabins Club Dues, visit the Club Dues page of this site.  Dues are collected annually or through equal monthly assessments, so budgeting for the expense is easy and understandable. 

 

As you compare Cabins Club Membership to other vacation home options in the Fraser Valley it is important that you factor in all of the same appropriate expenses from the other model, whether collected as association fees or paid by the owner directly, so you can get a clear comparison of the potential annual expenses associated with each option.

To simplify this confusing comparison process, we have developed an Operating Expense Comparison Form to help you collect and analyze your potential expenses quickly and consistently.  Feel free to print out the form and use it as you analyze the Grand County vacation home options with real estate professionals and resort representatives.
