Looking for guidance on investing in airbnb property in Orlando. Live in Denver. Up to 500k but would be happy with smaller investment to put our toes in the water. Would love to here from investors who could give recommendations on agent selection. Open to different occupancies but would really like to find a traditional single family with a in-law suite to be used as an airbnb. Will be visiting in February and would like to have a solid direction by then if not earlier.

Be sure to look outside the city of Orlando. City recently implemented strong regulations on Airbnb. Levied heavy fines and hired an outside company to track us all down. Not a fun time.
I am by no means an expert, I am in fact a complete novice. I do however have a little advice to give considering this was something I had been looking to do as well. I had been looking for something I could AirBnB so I would have a place to stay while in Orlando and I have to say the market is very saturated. Whatever you think your vacancy rate will be, double it. I'm sure it's working for someone, but I would be prepared to end up covering the mortgage yourself.
