And (3) even allocating an 8% lost rate of return on our purchase amount, with the annual fees we're averaging under $900 per night for a 2-3 bedroom condo in the center of Aspen including peak ski season. I know of nothing anywhere close price wise that's comparable.
Yeah we should have done it that way...
