Rental Arbitrage - Apartment - Disney Area

[Colby Burt]

Hi,

i'd like to do Rental Arbitrage for an STR in the Disney area (Davenport, Champions Gate, etc.) I'd like to start with a 1/2 bedroom apartment rented under a corporate lease. Do you know of any apartment complexes in these areas that allow corporate leases/STR? I will be calling the offices to inquire, but I thought perhaps you may already know of places that allow it and would save me time. Thank you.

In practice "corporate lease" is more just a term that STR arbitragers use to pitch their idea to landlords to try and get an agreement to be able to sublet their place without using the term "airbnb" or "short term rental" in the sales pitch. It's a way to make it sound a little more classy to the landlord. I think it's kind of silly, both because it's misleading, and because it's unnecessary (the better idea is to just convince the landlord why short term rentals are a good idea for them), but it works for a lot of people.

Ultimately this isn't a good place to find info on arbitrage.  It's a legitimate business model but this is more of a real estate investing forum than a business forum and most of the folks here have an irrational hatred for it.  Even further, those of us that don't dislike it don't really have any experience with it (we're here as real estate investors) so any info we're providing is just guessing and probably less helpful than what you'll find in arbitrage groups on Facebook, etc.
