Are "By Owner" being taken over by Home Away

[tednvon]

Hello, just curious, but as I was helping someone look for rentals in the Disney area I noticed that "Home Away" is now attached to VRBO, Vacation Rentals by Owner and Cyber Rentals. Have they taken over much of this industry. I tried to find Last Minute Rentals and the website www.lastminuterentals.net is no longer available.

I really liked that site as you could send mass emails to multiple owners.

If this is happening, not sure what the benefit is for the owner or the renter.

Looks a like a potential monopoly to me.

Thanks for the input...Ted

lots of realtors have gotten some of the foreclosure property and they are now renting it.

lost to a realtor a couple of times.

All the best...Ted
