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.

Cynthia’s Las Vegas Vacation with a Timeshare Rental April 18, 2008
Posted by Bryan Connelly in : ARDA, Customer Comments, General, New Features, News & Events, RCI, Sunterra Timeshare, Timeshare Rental, Timeshare Resale, Travel, Uncategorized, VOIC, Westgate Timeshares , add a comment While on vacation in sunny Las Vegas, I was fortunate enough to visit various resorts throughout this beautiful and exciting area. It was an experience of a lifetime to see firsthand what this incredible place had to offer. Along my trip I was able to take tours and truly understand the many resorts, programs, and packages available along the famed Las Vegas strip.
Although the hospitality industry was impressive in Vegas, they are no match for the genuine deals a serious buyer can find on buyatimeshare.com. A leading name in the timeshare resale industry, developers were consistently selling properties that were at least 30% higher than those advertised on buyatimeshare.com
During my expedition of the numerous resorts in the area, I first found my way to the Westgate Flamingo Bay. Set way off the beaten path, this quaint resort was only three miles from the infamous Vegas strip. This was a very family oriented place with a kid-friendly atmosphere. Not the place for honeymooners or couples looking to getaway from it all. It is however, ideal for family holidays. The facilities were well-kept, and they were selling float weeks, rather than set weeks. The benefits seemed to stop there however—the sales tour of the property was grueling. While I anticipated a 45minute walkthrough, three hours went by before we were given the opportunity to leave. The prices they were offering were extremely high for a property so far from civilization.
While the staff was quite pleasant, I could not help but notice that I knew more about the timeshare business than their sales representatives. And when it came down to buying, it turned out that the Flamingo Bay resort was sold out and they were in fact suggesting that I buy a property off site. This is becoming more popular amongst resort developers. Buyatimeshare.com has over 100 timeshares at Flamingo Bay. A suite with two bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, float week, is priced at $1,900.00 TO BUY! With bargains fit for any budget on the popular resale market, why pay the developer’s inflated prices? For a beautiful stay off the bustling Las Vegas strip, the Flamingo Bay is a peaceful stay in the hot Nevada sun.
We heard about the up and coming Westgate property in Las Vegas will be an ominous resort—defining the future of vacation luxury. The Planet Hollywood Towers will be a 50-story glass monster outfitted with an all new Planet Hollywood Casino. It will house over 1200 vacation villas, and almost 30 executive penthouse suites, 12 premium restaurants with an eclectic range of cuisine, and a shopping mall packed with 140 stores. Though it won’t be built until 2011, half of the properties within this phenomenal palace have already been sold. Innovators in the entertainment and hospitality business have perched this giant on the center of the strip—surrounded by all the lights and nightlife of Vegas.
