DevinYou have done the rental comps and checked how long a house stays on market in your area before it rents out right?

For a company our size, we were told more like 1-2 months of due diligence and 1 month of staying on, but we have nothing to truly compare that to in the "real world".  

Average length of stay is longer.

Lesson from Radiant Young Adults night in Tampa – "Staying Power"Last Thursday's session reminded me:- Stay consistent- Play the long game- Consistency always beats periodic bursts of intensity- Consistency might feel “boring,” but that’s where growth happensStay the course!

I know to search every night at midnight, because a lot of resorts get released in their system then.So total cost for a week is your maintenance deposit on your resort, then your membership into the trading company like RCI or II which is about $70 per year, the $219 exchange trade fee, and then if you have a guest stay at the resort you book and not yourself as the owner of the traded week, there is an additional $69 fee for the guest certificate to use the week as if they were you.  

You're in the right place to learn and grow— stay curious, ask questions, and take it one step at a time.
