Anyone know if there is a website or two that you could find people who would rent there timeshare w/ option to buy??

Steve ,I sold our timeshare years ago like this and had friends do this few years ago.

I have explained this idea on a few post on Redweek and other sites.

You don't need special site,you could list on wish list here or on any site.

You can find owners of resort and weeks you want and contact all of them stating what you would like to do .

I would think you have the resort or area in mind so just send e-mail to people with rent ads asking if they would have any interest in working this deal.

I would bet you will even get interest from some not even thinking of selling.

Tell owners your interested in their resort and would like to rent with option to buy their unit within couple weeks of your stay and your terms like all or half your rental fee off the selling price. Also make sure you have price in writing on your rental contract.

Check out sale listings at the resorts you are thinking of renting/buying so the owner doesn up the price on you.

This is a no lose deal for some owner renting because they rent and if they want to sell at same time they have the buyer. Worse thing to happen is they rent to you without you buying. They still make money.
