Florida (Disney Area) Vacation Rental Experiences

[Jason V.]

My wife and I are booking a trip for the family to Disney, and as usually happens when we rent a house somewhere, we start running the numbers on the property. 

Something along the lines of: Windsor Hills Villa

Mind you, we have 4 kids and are bringing my parents, a respite worker and her family, and might have some other folks stopping in, so we actually booked a 8 Bedroom house, but for the sake of discussion, the above link works. 

Anyone own and rent a place in the general vicinity of Disney that they wouldn't mind discussing/sharing their numbers on? I do the same type of analysis every time we go to the Adirondacks as well (if anyone has a lead on any properties for sale on Fourth Lake, let's talk!) and always come back to: my numbers must be off, or I'm doing the wrong type of investing. 

Thanks!

Got back from this trip not too long ago and would definitely be interested in this area if anyone invests around here that would like to share experience. I have a suspicion most folks who own rentals in this area do it as a way to 'stay free' on their frequent trips to Disney, and that the numbers just aren't that great, but I'd like to hear from anyone who has experience. Thanks!

Hi Jason, I'm new to BP. So I don't know if this is where I would post to reply to your questions nor do I know if I can PM you? But in any case, I just got a 4 bedroom and 3 bathroom townhouse in the Kissimmee area. It's a beautiful place and it's in a community called Venetian Bay. Based on my calculations and from what I have gathered from my friend, occupancy is around 65%. I am hoping that I will be getting around 3.5%CAP rates to the least, which is not that great but not terrible either, considering that I can take my family and friends down for Vacation when I need to escape the cold! =)

I hope I answered your question... 

Cheers.
