Re: Determining realistic rental prices (by Kenneth K.):

I think most timeshare owners would go to their exchange companies getaway lists to see what a 2 bed 2 bath would go for first. Of course, these lists are not readily open to the non-member public....but migh be helpful in seeing a low ball pricing idea.

You can easily go to the MArriott hotel reservation website to see what the price is which I guess is rack rate....

Some Marriott 2 bed 2 bath rentals in Williamsburg (Manor Club), Ocean Point (Riveria Beach/Palm Beach Gardens section) and a bit later on Hilton Head are about $400 a week in the flextime ( or even later than flextime) period right now.

Go to www.myresortnetwork.com which can also give you a price idea.

You can see how many units in an area are available by checking the RCI or II government & retired websites.

RCI easiest to use is the $329 weeks at www.afvclub.com There are several other websites that use the same search engine.

Intervals and Trading Places site is www.govarm.com

And of course, you can check Dial An Exchange*, SFX, Timex, and the other independent sites, all may have some rental units. ( I used to post the trading places units available on the tug site that were under $99.00 a week for general info....but stopped when TP seemed unhappy. They were even studios in Hawaii.

(DAE just posted (last week) dozens of weeks in a LM mode (last minute) for $99.00 a unit a week.

So, check around all over so you don't get stuck.
