Disney World Rentals - Epic Universe?

[Josh Luttrell]

Interested to hear from investors in this market on how their 2023 went and what they are seeing on the books for 2024. Also, more importantly, who is getting ready for the market shifts from EPIC UNIVERSE in 2025. This will single handedly increase tourism to numbers never seen before, for years!

Hey @Josh Luttrell, my clients aren't talking about EPIC yet, but some newer investors looking at Orlando are keeping that in mind when looking now. They seem to understand the value of getting in now, streamlining everything, getting reviews now so they are best prepared for bookings in 2025. Orange County, were Universal is, does not allow STR, so they will be forced into hotels or making the drive from the the Davenport/Kissimmee area and that stretch of highway is brutal!

Most of my clients did okay in 2023 given some of the turmoil that went on here for a minute. Again, the ones that are managing and marketing properly were okay with how it turned out. But there was/is a glut of units that went up for sale last year so that tells a story about how many people didn't research, don't know how to properly manage or were sold on the idea. 

I'm excited for all the growth that Orlando as a whole is experiencing, not to mention the theme parks and places like Evermore too.
