One topic that often comes up is how can resorts better provide value to their owners---and one way that is often mentioned is by renting non-performing intervals. If some deadbeat owner won't pay up, you rent their time out and use the proceeds to help defray the lost revenue from those fees.
The trick is that it's hard to run a rental business. A lot of folks here are involved with (or members of) their resort's board of directors, but none of us have a huge amount of time on our hands. I saw a story that mentioned the following service: Vacation Storebuilder - eCommerce Websites for Vacation Rental This is a "software-as-a-service" company; they host a collection of tools "in the cloud" that you can use to build your own rental portal. Individual owners who own a good chunk of inventory might find this site useful as well.
I have no idea what the pricing is like; there are no numbers quoted, but the marketing material mentions "pay for performance" which at least sounds promising. But, if you have an independently-managed resort that need to monetize foreclosed or in-default intervals, this could be a way to help make that happen.
Full disclosure: I have no relationship with the site. But it looked interesting enough to share.
