As to financing, unless you are going after a home equity loan or line of credit, then you will find it difficult to get much better than the SVO mortgage rate. There are only a handful of companies that write mortgages on timeshare units and the bottom rate appears to be around 12%.
One benefit if you should finance with SVO and have the SPG Amex: mortgage payments charged to your card earn you two SPG points for each $.
Also, a down payment or complete purchase may be made with your CC including receiving two points for each $ if it is a SPG Amex.
