You are not interested in self managing? I am not familiar with Encore. Maybe @Shawn McCormick can shed some light on it. He knows that market well.

 @Sara Klainer There are several large resort communities that you should also consider.  @Ryan Moyer is correct about the management and amenities at Encore. I have a list of similar communities that perform quite well and have similar amenities. What type of property are you looking for, condo, townhome or single family. Are you looking to offset the cost of your own vacations or is pure cash flow the most important aspect?

Happy to discuss this further if you like, just message me and we can connect. Thanks @Michael Baum.

Best of luck!


 Thanks, Sent you a PM!

You can self manage at Encore, but your guests will not have access to the resort amenities.  For that you need to use one of their preferred managers.  I'm not sure what they charge but you can bet it won't be cheap.

Any reason you're set on Encore?  It is the nicest of the resort neighborhoods, I'll give it that, but I get the impression the returns are a fair bit lower there as the home prices are a good chunk higher for roughly the same thing.


Thanks. Definitely not set on Encore. Just using it as a starting point, since it's a place we've stayed before, and we liked the home and amenities. Mostly just curious about the constraints with the preferred managers, since it seems to be referenced a few times in these forums.

Thanks, we used to self manage a rental property near our primary residence, and that worked fairly well. But we're on the West Coast so self managing in FL isn't feasible for this one.  

Hi All,

Like so many here, I am looking to buy a SFH in the Disney area, primarily as a STR investment, but also a bit for personal use (2-3 weeks/year). We've stayed at a home in Encore before and loved the amenities, so we started our search there. But I've seen several references here to the property management being very costly at Encore, on top of the high HOA. Can anyone shed more light on the costs and/or constraints?

Thanks
