The area has certain advantages like shelter from regulation risk (pretty much as low as anywhere in the country if you buy in the approved STR tourist zones) and long term security (people aren't going to stop going to Orlando anytime soon). 

I'm local here in Orlando (Clermont, just like you!).

Orlando, Kissimmee, and Lakeland are hot for mid-to-long-term rentals, with Orlando's tourism and Lakeland’s logistics expansion driving demand.

Over the years, however, we’ve found that we end up coming down to Orlando quite a lot, especially in the last couple of years, and we end up staying in vacation rentals (Reunion, Championsgate, Storey Lake typically).I would love to simply pull equity from the current property but given that it’s a long term rental and we are Canadians, from what we understand it’s not an option for us.we love reunion but I feel that would probably not be the best for ROI.  

The bank institution we partnered with offers a bi-annual administration fee of $450.00 USD + VAT (16%).I’m a Mexican Realtor working alongside a Master Broker with a presence mainly in the Southeast of Mexico and the USA, specifically in NY, Miami, and Orlando.

NYC apartments will have a different car requirement from Orlando, but he used that methodology in this specific small city and was an investor from the 1980s-2000s, so a lot has changed, but I believe there is still some truth to it.

This translates to high rental demand and potential for appreciation.Diverse Opportunities: From bustling metropolises like Miami and Orlando to charming beach towns and vacation destinations, Florida caters to a wide range of investment strategies.

I can refer a couple of great PM's in Orlando if you want to get another opinion or two.
