Are you having trouble finding renters ? I have rented since 1998 and more than 30 times. I wondered if many were still renting since Covid .

I have never stopped renting. I have always found it easy to rent my DVC points. You just need to post in the right locations. Also, I am reasonable in my pricing....not a low ball renter, I just don't shoot for $25 pp.

This was brought up a couple of months ago. I believe several were seeing a slow down in renting, but those with a trove of "trusted clients" weren't having any problems. A lot of it comes down to what resort are you trying to rent out, at what price, and at what time of the year.

My BCV points are always rented. My BLT points also rent easily, but not as quickly as the BCV ones. I also don't try to get $25pp and I sometimes use the online brokers when I want to quickly offload points and not deal with it (and still get $18pp).

I have been a regular renter from three owners who have helped me with my trips. I increased my number of trips since Covid.

I don’t actively rent. I have more points at this point that we can use. Though I’m not ready to get rid of any, yet. I have long, long time renters. So I get contacted by them out of nowhere and will be ased any points available for and we want these dates. He also has referred a couple of friends. Makes it easy as I’m not dealing with a complete stranger, they trust me, I trust them and all is good. I have another family, that it’s the same. If they are looking for a trip they contact me, if they have a friend, they will refer me. These are established relationships through the years. I haven’t seen a decrease but again I’m not on the rent boards in the past few years. Just when I think I may have to, because I have how many left with more coming in… I usually get a text, from a regular asking to rent. As others have said, I don’t gauge people trying to get $25 p/pt. I think that’s where resale point rental places are, but they give the flexibility for the renters to make payments etc. I also don’t use resale places. I’m doing the work, making the reservations, I want my payment and not in a payment plan. Never say never I maybe would if they were distressed soon to be loss. But haven’t in 20 yrs found the need. And I actually love helping, giving tips ‘playing’ travel agent to those who were going for the first time. At some point in my life I really wanted to become a travel agent. Found it exciting and fascinating.

I may be becoming a renter( renting points from others). If these new Poly points start through the roof, we will look to rent, and not just at Poly. I will be looking to stay at sites to SSR, and RIV. Haven’t tried them yet, but SSR coming soon. We are of the age where we may not live long enough to break even on any direct purchases. .

I tend to think that some of the rental prices have gotten really out of whack - where there really isn't much difference between rental prices or cash. If prices are reasonable, then i think points will rent.
