Orlando short term rental advice

[Brian Lyons]

Greetings all- I’m in the market to purchase a short term rental around Disney world. I will only use it for a week or so for personal use a year. This is my first swing at this and looking for ideas and suggestions from anyone experienced. My budget is around 150k or so but unsure how to figure out balance sheets on occupancy, etc. What are mgmt company’s costs? Booking? Cleaning? Etc Thanks in advance!

@Nathan G. Is right and wrong. I self manage 5 from 8 hours away round trip. Very little time involved but there is a certain stress level concerning the reviews. Depends on your market Orlando seems to be one of 3 that actually make money. I’m in Gatlinburg Pigeon forge.
