Vacation Rentals Orlando

[Jim Workman]

I am considering buying a Vacation Rental house in the Orlando Florida area as a vacation rental. Could VR owners chime in on total expenses including insurance, P.M, pool maint, etc? Do you have a VR P.M. that you would recommend? Do you have a cost estimate to furnish or preferred source?

I know that is a lot of questions in one post. Mainly want to make contact with successful VR investors.

Hi Jim,

I'm not an investor, but I'm an agent in Celebration, Florida, and basically ALL we do is help clients from out of town in purchasing vacation rentals. Some are strictly investors, some want to live part of the year and then rent it out short term, and others want it strictly as their own as a second home. Zoning laws in Florida are very strict regarding vacation homes, so it varies by community, but as a general rule of thumb, short term rentals are not allowed in Orange County (Orlando). So most everything is in Polk and Osceola county (and some in Lake county) south of Disney World. I know this is a really old post, but I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have if you're still active on BP
