After some research here and elsewhere, I was just going to try to monetize my parents old Worldmark Timeshare to pay the yearly fees. 

Deliveries in Units : 31512 Mo. Net

Even if you can't transfer the account, there is at least the value of the "proof of concept", possibly a website, a list of previous guests, a tested pricing model, the furniture, the knowledge of the demography of the guests, etc.As a seller, if a traditional property shows a gross cap rate of 5% with a list of comps and you are showing a net 10% or more, why not monetizing it? 

The first I purchased for 165k and it has $325.mo net positive cash flow.

There is a human component as well but you have to monetize as well.If the broker/agent is not doing this I wouldn't want to work with them anyway as they do not understand business and time versus money cost.If they do not understand that they certainly do not understand how to evaluate investment property for you.Is this an investment broker/agent or someone who just list homes that you stumbled across??

The more types of transactions you can become fluent in, the more likely it is you can monetize a deal at a given price point.Originally posted by @Jai Sookhakitch:I know first hand that hedge-funds are actually creating programs where they find RENT TO OWN candidates, they help them select the house and then the hedge funds buy and rent the property back to them.

At over 60k payoff amount and comps in the 90s it doesn't sound like much of a deal unless the house needs very little to no work, in which case you do have options to monetize this lead if the seller's price expectations are in line.

I own a house with my siblings and I wish to monetize my share as soon as possible.  

Also, monetizing your overhead is the play as well which allows you to pay down principal faster and set yourself up to buy in the depreciated market when we hit a recession.

The fee you paid to attend basically covers the cost of the room they used.There is nothing wrong with that provided whatever they sell you provides something of value that you can monetize.
