[Q=elizabeth194] Mark and Marilyn, Rental possibilities are what I expected, as I had checked with RE agents who only wanted holiday time. The property is beautiful and we will enjoy it, but also hoped to have rental option. Hope that changes with addition of the golf course. Have you tried an exchange with the Registry Collection - their selection of locations looks good, but don't know how easy it is to get a trade. Elizabeth[/Q] Hi Elizabeth: We have checked out this source and don't find anything we want re: trading or exchanging. We would rather have the rental income. That's one of the primary reasons we purchased Montecristo Estates. We only take a week at a time for vacation. I may decide soon to "sell off one of our weeks" so we don't have to deal with the headache of trying to rent out one of our weeks each year. It just seems impossible to get anyone interested. We have tried many other sites, also with no luck. We wish you all the best of success with your purchase. Only one word of advice. If you are not going to stay in your villa for the entire month yourselves, you might want to consider ONLY buying what you can use. Don't rely on the "rental income". You will be sorely disappointed. If you don't exchange the time you don't use --you will have the financial burden of having to pay "high weekly maintainence fee" with no offsetting rental income. Good luckl! Mark & Marilyn, Villa # 11
