Why Invest in Orlando and Central Florida in general

[Matthew Lamoreaux]

Hey Everyone,

      Just wanted to jump on here and put a few thoughts into the investa-sphyer lol.

1. There is no better time than now to start your investment portfolio.

2. The market in Orlando is not the general market of the country. No other place has 4 Disney parks, 3 Universal parks and 2 Busch Garden parks (Sea World / Discovery Cove) in one spot.

3. Due to the listed parks above Orlando is one of the few places where the market is not projected to drop, plateau maybe but the short term market is always going to here.

4. If investing in Orlando talk to an agent that understands what you want and who wants to help you make your financial dreams become a reality.

5. Work with someone you can build a relationship with, someone who you can do multiple deals with to build trust and understanding. 

6. Its your portfolio the agent is just there to help you not make decisions for you.

7. Have a plan for your investment how you plan to market, maintain and grow your business, that's what this is..... a business, so treat it like one.

8. This goes with number 5, find a lender who knows the local market and understands what you are trying to accomplish.

9. Lastly, have fun and enjoy

Appreciate you putting this out there, Matt. You nailed some key points, especially #3, #5, and #8, relationships and local knowledge are everything in this business.

As a hard money lender working with investors throughout Florida, I see firsthand how important speed and certainty of capital are in this market. Orlando isn’t just a strong tourist destination, it’s a fast moving investment environment where the right financing can make or break a deal.

For anyone new to investing here: it’s not just about finding a deal, it’s about being ready to close. That’s where having the right team: agent, lender, property manager, and contractor really pays off. I always encourage investors to look beyond rates and ask: Does this agent and lender understand my strategy? Can they help me scale, not just close one deal?

Orlando’s got the fundamentals, strong population growth, tourism, and year round demand. Pair that with smart planning and reliable capital, and you’ve got a solid foundation to grow a real estate business.

Thanks again for the solid post, Matt. Always good to see local professionals bringing value.
