Short Term Rentals near Walt Disney World Advice?

[Bernie D.]

I'm interested in learning more information about investment properties near Walt Disney World... specifically Windsor Hills Resort and/or Similar Resorts in close proximity to Walt Disney World. There are A LOT of properties for sale and A LOT of properties for Rent. Does anyone have any experience regarding the current market conditions, previous issues, advice on management companies, estimated annual rental occupancy, and which properties are in Higher Demand on the rental market? (Ex: 2BR/3BR/4BR/5BR etc and/or Condo/Townhome/Single Family, etc)

Has anyone worked with Global Resort Homes Property Management and/or Villa Direct Property Management Company?  

I'd appreciate any information you can provide. Thanks in advance!

As others stated, do your research before jumping in! With HOA fees, management fees, upkeep (pool, lawn, etc) it all starts to add up. You will also have to apply for an occupational license with the city.

Depending on price point and what your motivation is the investment, these are some I like:

Indian Ridge

Windsor Hills

Solterra

Reunion

Champions Gate

Legacy Park

If it's a SFH look for ones with South Facing pools or having no rear neighbors. You got to have a game room and make it stand out from your other competition. Nice furniture, not your Grandmothers praisely couches. Rooms to go will deliver a room package for you, and they do a nice job. Run specials and be on top of the managing if you are going to do it yourself. There are so many short term rental properties here, so you have to make your stand out.
