Literally millions of people visit here every year, and it's so much more cost effective to rent a house instead of a hotel, and the short term friendly zoning south of Disney makes this an incredible market to get into.

I would imagine cold weather northern states would see more movement in spring, summer, fall and perhaps hot southern states would see more movement in fall, winter, spring.

It is definitely a hot area.

The house meter is for consumption not specific to the individual units...such as exterior lights, power to the washer and dryer, sprinkler system, outside hosebib etc...If existing water lines are behind walls, under slab, it is going to be impossible.Also, if you separate electric but not water, and your water heater is electric, make sure you are not supplying hot water to unit B on a branch of a line powered by unit A's electric.

Nice job Brian.re: Once you have an RMLO lined up to handle the applications and origination and have nailed your terms...market away.Thanks for the kind words, Hattie, and I love your posts btw, but as far as marketing on Craigslist or in print for Owner Financing buyers,  I would caution you not describing the exact terms of any owner financing and have something vague, like"Owner will finance either owner carry or lease to own, there is some qualifying, please contact NAME RMLO # PH#" for an application or link to a 1003 app like thishttps://www.dropbox.com/s/xd2qn5djkf6z15v/Mortgage...To act in the capacity as marketing for a financing arrangement without proper licensing can get you in FEDERAL hot water.
