Disney Area STR newbie

Member since 2020 · 8 posts · 4 votes

I have been reading these forums and there is a ton of great info. I'm researching buying a SFH pool home in Windsor Hills or nearby. Looking at 4-5 bedrooms and would like to stay under $350k. It seems that most on here prefer to self-manage, and I've seen some general costs of property managers. Can anyone share their actual cost and experience of using a property manager in this area? In today's world, is it realistic to assume 50% occupancy in this area? I would be using this home periodically throughout the year and while I can afford the mortgage and monthly expenses without any rental income, I would obviously prefer to have those costs recouped through rentals. I'd appreciate any details or recommendations you have! Thanks

@Kim Robinson I recently helped a client acquire a townhouse in the area for STR and a family vacation spot. If you would like to talk feel free to send me a message. I know a good property management team in the area I can connect you with.

    Hello there,

    I am just curious what returns do people see from a SFH in this area?

    hi Kim, we’re property managers here in the Disney/Orlando market. If your home is priced correctly and nicely themed, you will experience significantly over 50% occupancy, right now we are seeing around 80% or more. Happy to share revenue/occupancy reports for various home types in Windsor Hills and other communities. A pool is a must, so you may want to explore increasing your budget. Let us know how we can help!

    @Yu Liu I’m really happy. Its cash flowing. It takes none of my time thanks to the pmc and the value in general has increased by about 25-30%
