Disney Area STR newbie

[Kim Robinson]

I have been reading these forums and there is a ton of great info. I'm researching buying a SFH pool home in Windsor Hills or nearby. Looking at 4-5 bedrooms and would like to stay under $350k. It seems that most on here prefer to self-manage, and I've seen some general costs of property managers. Can anyone share their actual cost and experience of using a property manager in this area? In today's world, is it realistic to assume 50% occupancy in this area? I would be using this home periodically throughout the year and while I can afford the mortgage and monthly expenses without any rental income, I would obviously prefer to have those costs recouped through rentals. I'd appreciate any details or recommendations you have! Thanks
