Re: How Safe Is It To Rent?? (by Phil L.):

This is just my opinion but I say you should only work with a owner listing their unit for rent!

If you find a resort and week you want and can work out a deal then great. Make sure you do your homework before paying.

Only pay small amount down to owner and get proof like reservation form most if not all resorts send owners showing the week they have. Many of these people offer they can get any week and this is bull because the good weeks are gone early every year.

Call the resort and explain your renting from this person and try and ask if he/she is a owner there.

Most deals renter pays half and after proof sent to you that the unit is in your name and you call resort and double check you then pay full amount and only then!

If you get a owner that doesn't like this or demands full amount walk away just like the owner will do if they don't feel right about you.

Also many owners want you to pay with Pay-Pal and this cost you extra just to sign up and gives you nothing in return. PayPal only good to get your money faster.

You can use search and type in PayPay or how to rent and read post like your question and see all the replies!

Good Luck! PHILL12
