If you’re married, you will need to go with your spouse. There’s also usual an income limit of at least 100k a year to sign up. They will pitch you hard, just say no. The property is just okay, nothing 5 star but it’s an amazing deal.

this particular property? thanks for the info

At the very end of the presentation, tell them you have >$100k in student debt and that I didn't think it was responsible to pay for future vacations while I had so much debt. That's what I did (it was true for me) and it stopped much of the conversation.

I have been researching into this these days and there is literature that shares how lending worked in pre-Islamic Arabia.

Subsequently ever year the loan wasn't paid it was doubled from the previous year.
