Re: Tips on Renting Out Timeshare (by Jeff R.):

Hi anitad10, I'm new to the website, but it seems that as time goes by it is going to get harder to rent out our weeks because of those who are giving their weeks away for nothing. I know there are those who are making a pretty good income at this and because of the volumn they are doing, they can put a better price than you can. A couple of people are responding to you that you should consider dropping your prices a bit. That's easy for them to say, but the first time some renters tear some unit up that you have offered, we know who has to pay for it. You are the owner and are taking a big risk to offer these fine condominiums to people who do not have a vested interest in them. I for one am not going to take that risk for a couple of lousy hundred bucks. If that is what redweek is coming to, let the high volumn dealers have it and just enjoy your timeshare. Others seem to be more involved in the bottom price and thats fine for a while until the overall value of your own property drops down because of the attitudes and lack of respect for the property takes its toll. No wonder some of the developers and exchange companies are making policies against rentals for any kind of profit. We'll see how this plays out in future days but I think it is obvious. To those who will exploit a good thing down to nothing, enjoy it while you can. Pretty soon exchanges one on one will be the only safe way to go.
