I live and work and Florida, Orlando to be exact. I can say certain areas are better buys than other. Goldberg Global had a valid point about tourists. Short terms rental near Kissimee and Davenport are not what many believe them to be. They are not occupied much of the year. The rental agents that do short term rentals(short term meaning under 7 months, only certain counties are permitted to rent properties by the week or month) charge a large fee. Communities designed as an all in one charge a basic fee plus a % of month income. This equates to you receiving 50% of the income. Then the short term rentals are required to pay taxes as if they were a hotel or resort. Properties in other areas are better. The east side of Orlando has an abundant amount of business coming to the area and this brings people. The medical school at the University of Central Florida is opening in about 1 year, Biotech is coming as well, Florida Hospital is expanding in the area, Lockheed is located here... I could go on and on about how that area is superior to Four Corners/Disney area.

If you would like help or simply have question, I would be more than happy to help message me
