Orlando Buyers Guide
Our Orlando Buyers Guide provides with a crucial insight into buying a vacation home in Orlando. It is a straightforward process even though it may differ from how you would purchase a property in your home state or country.
First of all you need to forget about school districts and commutes to work by replacing them with Short Term Rental Zones and commutes to attractions. These two things are your starting point. If the attractions are too far away or the community is not a designated short term rental community, then everything else from the price, the model, to the community amenities is a moot point.
On the map below each circle represents 6 miles (9.5 km). We have highlighted the most visited attractions and shopping malls, so that you have an immediate gauge as to distances.
Distance is just one of the relevant factors which needs to be considered when purchasing a vacation home in Orlando when you plan to rent it out to tourists.
The majority of tourists will want to be within a few miles of Disney because this is the focal point for family vacations. Both purchase and rental prices the closest to Disney tend to be higher than elsewhere. Just because they are higher doesn’t make a community in this area the best choice for you.
Some of the best performing rental communities are a few more minutes away from the theme parks than you would expect. Their owners get excellent rental occupancy and higher rental returns after expenses have been deducted.
