Just signed the contract for a (Starwood) timeshare, will not close for another 60-90 days. We have to pay for 2007 fees and week 8 is ours to use. Don't think we can use it, but not sure what to do with it.
1) Late deposit with II? If I ask the seller to deposit and transfer the week, pretty sure it will be flexchange only.
2) SFX? Is that possible before closing?
3) Rent it? Not sure if it's possible to rent it, since we are not the "official" owners yet. Our names are on the reservation as guests. I suppose I could rent it and ask the seller to take my name off and change the name to a renter. Has anyone ever done that? or is that just too complicated?

Suggestions?

After looking at the math, A week 8 is the last week of February. If you are closing 60-90 days from now that would put you at March. If that is so you will not be able to use it this year at all.

Lets say you do get ownership a week before March. The Exchange companies would have to verify the ownership first. That can take 1 to 2 weeks.
