Exchange as 2bd or Split?

[Viva World Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Viva World]

I've read TSF threads for a couple of years now. Did my research, and finally purchased my first TS (Villas @ Polo towers in Vegas, yes off ebay). It's a 2bd lock-off unit. My question is that for trading should I leave it as a 2bd or, split into the studio & 1bd?
I'd rather go on vacations for 2 weeks, and it's just two of us, so a 1 bdroom or studio is just fine. We would be traveling mostly in the off season, as we have very flexable schedules (which I've heard is pretty important in the availability of resorts).

Through II by banking your 2bd as 2 weeks (1bd & studio) can you make reservations at other resorts as a 2 consecutive week stay? Is this hard to do in the off season?

My other thought is reserving at Polo towers, and renting it out (Float, but my inventory week is 17), but I'd rather not deal with the advertising etc.

Finally, the areas we travel too are Whistler, Cozumel, Cabo, La Paz, Todos Santos, Hawaii, Las Vegas, Europe, Alaska, Oregon, California.

I hope I put enough information to help with answers.
Thank you everyone, and I'm excited that I finally have joined the TS community

WoW! Lurker extraordinarie! If you only want a Studio or 1BR then do not deposit a 2BR and waste the extra unit, II is very size sensitive in addition to normal trading power conventions of location, location, time and time.

Easier to do in off season than any other time, but to get two consecutive weeks at any resort depends on someone depositing consecutive weeks. One owner that owns the consecutive weeks you want or multiple owners that both deposit what you want (may not do it at the same time, or your best bet depending on resort would be a resort that has a floating time regime where the resort bulk banks lots of consecutive weeks.

Good luck!!!!!!!!

Lurker in the house!

Thank you for the reply, you answered my questions perfectly. How funny that you called me a Lurker! I live in the mountains in Washington state, and we call all the ski bums that arrive in the winter "Lurkers" because they just hang out on the porch of our only store, drinking cup after cup of their "free refill" cups of coffee!
Our only restaurant even called their soup the "Lurker"!
Anyhow, Thanks again for the reply. Hopefully I'll do okay with my trades.
