Hellp BP Community

As being starting out in short term rental space . Would like to know your thoughts on the Orlando market for a short term rental like 3 bed 2 bath single family home.

My questions is

Should I focus on SFH or Condo

How far should it be from Disney's

What extra should I provide in the rental.

If I am missing something then please add it.

Looking for all of your advice.

You need a house cleaner and a maintenance person. I've got a lady that cleans my STRs for free....

and I get to sleep with her.

@Deb Bandyopadhyay feel free to reach out. I own STR and am a full time Realtor® and investor in Orlando. Currently helping several other BPr's locating suitable properties for both STR and long term.

    Hello. 

    Should I focus on SFH or Condo: SFH with the private pool.

    How far should it be from Disney's: up to 10 miles

    What extra should I provide in the rental: a view, modern design, a work station :)

    Thank you Velentina, this is the answer I was looking for. Surely I am looking SFH with swiming pool as this a must for the Orlando and sunshine state. Also I will not just start the AirBnb but rather will make it perfect then will jump into it.
