This latest exchange scheme will allow timeshare owners to rent out their vacation property when they’re not using them. BuyATimeshare.com has been offering people the option to rent, sell and buy vacation property for years. With a dedicated Rental Specialist Department, BuyATimeshare.com gives owners a way to get cash from their timeshare, to pay maintenance fees, or toward their next getaway.
With this RCI program you do earn RCI point that can be accumulated and put toward a different week or a stay at a different destination altogether. This offer is only good for RCI affiliated resorts however. This is where BuyATimeshare.com really shines, with rentals offered by most owners across the globe.
RCI will arrange the renters, but the owner only receives 70 percent of the income—along with some bonus points. This is an ingenious twist to their already impressive portfolio. Though they will probably guarantee a renter, BuyATimeshare.com guarantees that you will receive 100 percent of the rental income—that pays for your annual maintenance fees! Interested buyers enjoy renting, often as a first step to buying. This gives you a week away at a luxury resort, anywhere in the world you wish. Renting a vacation property has always proven to be a cost effective alternative to staying a week in a hotel. Save thousands when buying and cash for your timeshare!
Timeshare Gain Popularity Among Former Vacation Homeowners May 16, 2008

Over the recent months more and more buyers have been people who have previously owned vacation homes. In today’s economic upheaval, fractional ownership and timesharing are starting to look less like a scam, and more like a reasonable, economically sound alternative to owning a separate vacation home.
The unparalleled benefits of timeshare ownership are even better when you can save thousands of dollars when buying. The timeshare resale market found on BuyATimeshare.com has hundreds of properties, for-sale-by-owner, with prices that are well below what a resort’s salespeople will attempt to sell them for.
For awhile, the timeshare resale market was a well-kept secret in hospitality industry, known only by brokers and seasoned timeshare owners. Resorts do not want their vacations peddled for thousands of dollars less, when they can sell the same package for $40,000.00.
Recently people have begun selling their multi-million dollar vacation homes, taking up timeshare ownership. After considering the maintenance costs and property tax for such little annual usage—owning that second piece of property does not make financial sense. Now, instead of paying maintenance fees that cover cleaning services, taxes, insurance, future furniture replacement, costs to maintain the resort, plus operational costs for management and personnel.
These annual maintenance fees are quite small in comparison to a mortgage, insurance and home maintenance costs. With no mortgage, your money is not tied up in one huge investment. A recent trend in our timeshare resale show that many former vacation homeowners now own multiple weeks—especially after seeing the many benefits, luxuries, and affordability of timeshare ownership.
To make ends meet, vacation home owners will often rent their second home out. This becomes a burden to the owner who is responsible for any maintenance issues, all repair, and scheduling tenants, guests and family, until, vacationing becomes more work than it is worth. That same owner can simply check out of a timeshare, with no concerns about the property, finally, vacationing becomes enjoyable.
With today’s huge exchange companies like RCI, II, and TPI, patrons can swap one or more weeks for a stay at thousands of luxury resorts for a variety of vacation experiences. Many of these ex-vacation homeowners have opted for these multiple destination packages—not affixed to a specific resort headquarters. These options have the most to offer those who vacation often and appreciate a change of scenery.
At BuyATimeshare.com there are hundreds of multi-destination packages, priced to sell by motivated owners. These timeshares are your best option of saving thousands of dollars on you next vacation—reaping the benefits of fractional ownership, without owning, renting, maintaining, or worrying about a second home. Finally enjoy your next vacation.
Myrtle Beach’s Hard Rock Park Gaining Speed May 8, 2008
Posted by Bryan Connelly in : ARDA, Customer Comments, General, Hilton Head Island, New Features, News & Events, Timeshare Rental, Timeshare Resale, Travel, Uncategorized , add a commentMyrtle Beach’s own 140 acre Rock ‘n Roll Theme Park is a jewel encrusted in the heart of Fantasy Harbour complex in South Carolina. Unfortunately, since its opening on April 15, 2008, this sought after destination is being masked by vacant lots and abandoned buildings. The premier Hard Rock Park celebrates Rock’s culture, lifestyle, and the legends that have changed history. Offering a vast array of amusement rides, live shows, shopping and dining attractions, as well as the main attraction—the massive roller coasters.
After a huge investment and years of planning, the famed roller coasters can barely been seen from the busy highway U.S. 501, just peeping over the remnants of the former Waccamaw Factory Shoppes—the same parcel of land the park was constructed on. Why hide such a treasure? That question is exactly why some people are looking into turning the vacant lot into an all access entry to Hard Rock Park, with restaurants and shops to draw in the public, rather than an empty space for them to pass by. And such changes may hit Fantasy Harbour yet.
Paradise City is a complex on the drawing board that may or may not replace the eyesore in front of the spectacular theme park. Another idea that is up in the air is a great 120 unit timeshare resort, known only as Backstage Resorts to be built next to Medieval Times on Harbour Boulevard.
Even though no official plans have been submitted, contractors like Winter Park Construction and L2 Studios Inc. have confirmed that they too are working with Backstage Resorts. They have started advertising a dozen online jobs, stating that sales and marketing will start this summer. The official Grand Opening for Hard Rock Park is June 2, 2008 where a concert by the Eagles will kick off the festivities. However, Steve Goodwin, Hard Rock Park’s chief executive officer said that he has no plans ready to release for the empty property just outside of the theme park. “I own that property and I submitted no plans to the county” stated Goodwin, “we haven’t announced anything and I haven’t done anything with that property.”
The empty lots around the Park have yet to be built into something, though changes are to hit the Fantasy Harbour neighborhood. The site where the Waccamaw Factory Shoppes once stood will become a $300million complex with hotels, homes, stores, fine restaurants and an entertainment venue. The property was purchased by Next Step Partners LLC. Currently the only thing to attract people is a single digital sign aimed at the busy U.S. 501, promoting South Carolina’s newest heavyweight attraction, Hard Rock Park.
Myrtle Bach, Fantasy Harbor, and South Carolina are increasingly becoming popular destinations for those looking for an affordable, stateside beach paradise. Vacation-goers have enjoyed this area for generations, seeking out the championship golf, exquisite seafood, and fantastic beaches and shimmering seawater. At BuyATimeshare.com we have hundreds of these properties for sale by owner and priced to sell. Enjoy your next vacation at South Carolina’s premium beachside destination by renting or buying a first-class timeshare property at a world-renowned resort, with no fees, no commission, no broker fees, and no sales pressure.
