From reading earlier posts you have made it seems you are a "points are points" person.

Lack of advance planning etc, would indicate that you should look for the lower MF resorts.

Smokey Mountains actually is not too bad for MF's and if you like the area could be a good option for you.

You also seem like a very good cantidate for the trading option, 28K, 42K and possibly an ocassional 70K deposit plus the RCI fee. I'm sure you have read this in the Yahoo files.

Usually the places in active sales have lowest MF, developer shifting costs around, HI probably now. Tahoe at one time . Best to look for places with a history.

Of course one can over analyse and be paralysed.

Sometime best to just to leap in on a reasonable deal, doesn't have to be the very best.

I just complete reviewing eBay sales tonight for Fairfield for a friend that wants to buy out her ex husband's share. If you have Excel, PM me with your email address and I can send you that file of 64 sales. Regardless of the region, the average is about $0.0101 per point. In your post you stated "they would offer me about 150,000-189,000 annually point for the range around $14,000-$20,000", which you could buy on eBay for $1500-$1800. I'm not a FF owner, so others may have advice on point package size or locations that may be the better values considering maintenance fees.

1st You don't have kids, or no need to worry about kids. 2nd you travel impulsively most of the time.

Thus it is the best you can take any exchange you like when they become available, as long as it is the places and area you like to go. And RCI does has a lot of availability in the off season.

Once you have kids, you kind of have to tight up your schedule at at least 1 year or earlier to enjoy the TS.

That is assume you have enough control on scheduling when to take your vacation. Or if not, at least you know it ahead of time (like 3 to 6 month, and they don't give you summer vacation). Although I usually found I can tell anyone ahead of time I will be on vacation and take off, it maybe hard if you may get move from one country to another without too much notify.
