Strategic Resort Oversight & Planning
Awareness!! Know what assets you have and why and what they are doing today and will be doing in the future. Understand that cycles occur in the world economy, in politics, in trends, in investor sentiment, in legislation, in the scarcity of certain assets and in changing technology and that this constant change must be monitored against how it directly and indirectly affects your assets and their value. Our Oversight services do just this….quarterly. Asset & Sales Audits, Oversight and Reporting are the three legs of the Resort stool and upon which Resort Management should be balanced. This process, while sometimes cumbersome and time consuming, can help you avoid HUGE mistakes.
Specialized Passive /Active Participation Ideas
There is plenty of capital looking for a good idea and there are plenty of good ideas looking for capital. Resorts, condominiums, golf courses, water parks, timeshare portfolios and many other projects offer passive or active involvement. Our Oversight services, if needed and appropriate, can help showcase some of these opportunities.
Lawsuit Avoidance & Legal Mal-Practice Awareness
Unfortunately, law suit entanglement and suffering at the hands of less than specialized lawyers or the court system is one of the most overlooked enemies of growing and maintaining the efficient management a resort development.
Timeshare, fractionals and resort membership sales are among some of the most regulated sales activities in the USA. Often involving HUD, TCPA, EPA, FDCPA the ECOA and other Federal and State Agencies, time and money must be allocated to learn, understand and have strategies for law suits. Any successful resort development has been involved in lawsuits. Plan for them.
Dos Mundos Developments, Inc, based on Mr. Bounds’ direct entanglement in various development related lawsuits, has developed a Ten Step process, as part of an Oversight services that is designed to specifically help developers, resort operators, timeshare sales groups avoid such traps.
