DVC Rental Question

[figaromeetsmarie]

I thought I had read somewhere awhile back that Disney was cracking down on people who buy DVC's soley to rent out?

This seems more like a statement than a question. Not sure what exactly you are asking...

Y-ASK

My sister and her husband were talking about buying into DVC with the thoughts of renting half of their points, and I did not want her to do something that would be a "no-no"

Thanks

According to the POS, you are allowed to rent your DVC interests, but there is a difference between the average John Doe owner renting 1/2 their points and someone buying and NEVER staying at DVC themselves. The language is ambiguous.

Basically, as long as you don't rent points 20 times per year, you'll probably be safe, and not cross the threshold of what DVC would consider a habitual "commercial" renter. Unless your SIL is planning on buying a few thousand points, I wouldn't worry about it.

Thanks! No, not a few thousands points! LOL!

As the price to buy into DVC continues to increase and the price of member fees continues to increase, renting reservations takes more and more work just to break even. Especially if they plan to finance the purchase.

There are better and easier ways to invest. DVC isn't an investment.
