When to start looking for DVC points

[2 lil'princesses]

Sorry if this is the wrong place but I am interested in renting DVC points for June 2011. When should I start looking for points to rent and how likely is it that I will be able to find points to rent? Just not sure when and where to start. Thanks for any advice!

In the DVC forum, there is actually a DVC Rental thread. I'd go there and begin looking for contracts that might strike your fancy. A renter's Use Year helps determine when you can rent from him/her. Good hunting.

1. Determine urgency for your days. Take a look at the sellout history for your prospective travel dates.

and

That will help you decide whether you need to be anal about the 11 month window.

2. I did that and didn't see too many sold out dates in previous years. Then about 9 months out, I emailed every poster on the Rent/Trade board who said they had points for $10 per point at the resort I wanted. 2 days later, I found a match.
