[2012] good resale recommendation needed for trade

I believe you should buy to rent. If it rents really well, then it’s probably a great trader plus you can always cover your maintenance fees with rent in the future if you need to. Don’t be too hung up on what you like but what can bring you the most money over the maintenance. I always look at if I can recoup my purchase and maintenance fees with rent in 10 years. You can always rent wherever you want to go as well.

That is a list of top rented timeshares, which isn't necessarily timeshares that are good to buy to rent. They are mostly very large resorts, so they naturally end up getting rented more. But Grand Vista especially I wouldn't buy to rent, because Orlando is over-built. Lots of people DO rent it through redweek, but I bet a lot of them do so right around the MF.

I own a couple of Grande Vista weeks and you're better off going through Florida Club into Ocean Pointe if you're going to rent them out.

That is assuming you can get the week(s) you want at the six or seven month mark prior to check in.
